Which of the following is not a component of the radiation emitted by a radioactive sample a.alpha radiation b.delta radiation c.gamma radiation d.beta radiation?
Radioactive substances can emit alpha particles, gamma radiation (gamma rays) and beta radiation (beta particles). What they do not emit is delta radiation.It causes transmutation.It has a mass of 4 amus.
What kind of radiation is emitted in the following nuclear reaction?
Type your answer here... Alpha decay Nuclear fission
What type of radiation emitted by radioactive nuclei is negatively charged?
A Beta- particle is an electron, which has negative charge.Here are some other types: Alpha is a helium nucleus, which is 2 protons and 2 neutrons (having positive charge). Positron is the antiparticle to electron. Positrons have positive charge. Gamma does not have charge. Neutrons do not have charge. Neutrinos do not have charge.
Emission of gamma rays does not change the atomic number of a nucleus?
no, gamma rays are very high frequency electromagnetic radiation and are not protons or electrons as alpha and beta radiation are respectively.
Nuclear radiation ranked from the greatest mass to the least mass is a- Xray gamma ray beta particle b- Xray beta particle gamma ray c- Alpha particle beta particle gamma ray d Beta alpha gamma?
aplha, beta, gamma
What are the three major forms of emitted radiation?
The three major forms of emitted ionizing radiation are Alpha, Beta and Gamma.
What type of radiation alpha beta or gamma is emitted by thorium-230?
alpha particles.
What kind of radiation is emitted from protactinium?
Protactinium-231 emit alpha particles, gamma radiations, X-rays.
How many radiations are emitted by uranium?
Uranium-238 emits alpha radiation; its half-life is 4,468×109 year.
What radiation is given off by a nuclear bomb?
prompt (at time of explosion) - neutron, gamma, x-ray, UV, visible, thermal (IR), some radio.delayed (fallout) - beta, gamma, some alpha.Types of radiation called "ionizing radiation" - alpha, beta, gamma, x-ray, neutron.
What is the radiation type for alpha?
Alpha (and beta) radiation is "particle radiation" Gamma is electro-magnetic radiation.

Radioactive substances can emit alpha particles, gamma radiation (gamma rays) and beta radiation (beta particles). What they do not emit is delta radiation.It causes transmutation.It has a mass of 4 amus.
What type of radiation is emitted by molybdenum-99?
???
Gamma radiation is it safe to inject into a human but alpha particles would be very dangerous?
Generally no radiation is safe. You cannot "inject" radiation into anything because it is the product of various unstable nuclei decaying. Alpha radiation is much more ionising than gamma, but much less penetrating than it. That makes it more dangerous if it is inside your body; it can be stopped by skin. Therefore you would have to swallow a sample of a radioactive material. However, gamma radiation is always emitted together with alpha or beta radiation.
What is the change in the atomic number when an atom emits gamma radiation?
The atomic number does not change when gamma radiation is emitted.
What type of radiation is emitted from Iridium-192?
The radiation emited is gamma ray
When U-238 decays to th-234 what has been emitted?
When U-238 decays to Th-234, an alpha particle is emitted. An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons, and is essentially a helium nucleus.
