What are the different types of radioactive decay and how do they differ from each other?
There are three main types of radioactive decay: alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay. Alpha decay involves the emission of an alpha particle, which is a helium nucleus consisting of two protons and two neutrons. This type of decay reduces the atomic number of the nucleus by 2 and the mass number by 4. Beta decay involves the emission of a beta particle, which can be either an electron (beta-minus decay) or a positron (beta-plus decay). Beta decay changes the atomic number of the nucleus by 1 but does not significantly affect the mass number. Gamma decay involves the emission of gamma rays, which are high-energy photons. Gamma decay does not change the atomic number or mass number of the nucleus but helps the nucleus reach a more stable energy state. These types of decay differ in the particles emitted and the changes they cause to the nucleus.
What is the amount of time it takes for three fourthsof a radioactive sample of an isotope of bromine to decay if the half life of the isotope is 16.5 hours?
It takes one half-life for half of the radioactive sample to decay. Since half of the sample has decayed after 16.5 hours, it will take another 16.5 hours for the remaining half to decay, totaling 33 hours to decay three fourths of the original sample.
What is the decay product of uranium-238?
U-238 is the most abundant (99.3%) of the three naturally occurring isotopes of Uranium. The other two are U-235 and U-234.U-238 decays spontaneously to Thorium-234 by alpha particle emission. This decays by beta decay to Protactinium-234 and then that undergoes beta decay to become U-234.There are many more decay steps by alpha and beta emission. The end result is Lead-206 which is stable.The full path can be found in the Argonne National Laboratories Human Health Fact Sheet, August 2005, titled Natural Decay Series: Uranium, Radium, and ThoriumThis is found at:http://www.ead.anl.gov/pub/doc/natural-decay-series.pdf
What do you call three things combined?
A trio or a triple.
What are three things made from oil?
Three things made from oil are gasoline, plastic products, and diesel fuel. Oil is a versatile resource that is used in various industries for manufacturing different products.
What conditions does decay happen faster?
Decay needs three elements in order to take place. 1. Water 2. Oxygen 3.Suitable heat Decay will respire, generate heat and breakdown materials producing carbon dioxide and water over a large surface area. So, the more holes in the container the more of what you want will decompose as more of the materials are exposed to the three elements above and will enable other microrganisms like fungi and bacteria to help with the decay process.
What three things affect the rate of decay?
The rate of decay is primarily affected by temperature, moisture, and the presence of microorganisms. Higher temperatures can accelerate chemical reactions and biological activity, leading to faster decay. Increased moisture levels enhance microbial growth, further speeding up the decomposition process. Additionally, the type of organic material and its composition also influence how quickly it breaks down.
