Which particle is given off when phosphorus-32 undergoes a transmutation reaction?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
An isotope of phosphorus, phosphorus-32, undergoes beta minus decay as annoted by this equation: 32P => 32S + e- + ve The products are the sulfur isotope 32S, which is stable, and the beta minus partile (e-), which is a high energy electron, and an antineutrino (ve).

What happens when a compound undergoes a chemical reaction?
When a compound undergoes a chemical reaction, it is forever altered. It can never go back to the way it was before the reaction took place.
An amtom undergoes a reaction ant attains a more stable from how do you know is it was chemical or nuclear reaction?
If an atom undergoes a reaction and attains a more stable form, you know if the reaction was a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction by studying what exactly happened to the atom.
A substance that undergoes a change in a chemical reaction?
A reactant
Which equation represents a transmutation reaction?
14/6 C --> 14/7 N + 0/-1e
Is ammonium a reversible reaction?
Ammonium is an ion (NH4+), a socalled charged particle, THIS is NOT a reaction.
When radon undergoes natural transmutation reaction it emits?
alpha particle
When an element undergoes nuclear transmutation the result is a completely different what?
When an element undergoes nuclear transmutation the result is a completely different element or isotope. All transmutation occurs through decay or nuclear reaction.
Which type of reaction occurs when the high-energy particle collides with the nucleus of an atom converting the atom to a atom of a different element?
transmutation
When a nucleus undergoes radioactive decay its new mass number is?
It depends. If the decay contains a particle with mass, then the nucleus' mass number must decrease. If the decay involves the emission of a massless particle (like a gamma photon), then the mass number is unchanged. If the reaction (not technically a decay) involves the nucleus absorbing a particle with mass (like U-235 absorbing a neutron in a fission chain reaction) then it is a transmutation and not a natural decay. The mass number must increase.
What particle is captured by other nuclei in a nuclear chain reaction triggering additional fission events?
The neutron is the particle that undergoes those capture events resulting in fission.
Why is transmutation classified as a reaction?
Transmutation is a nuclear reaction.Transmutation by chemical reactions is only a phantasy of the Middle Ages.
Change of one element into another is called what?
transmutation, neutrons
What type of reaction involve changes in the nucleus of an atom?
Transmutation
A substance that undergoes change in a chemical reaction is called a what?
A substance that undergoes change in a chemical reaction is called a reactant.
What is 3 examples nuclear transmutation?
Because transmutation, the change of one element into another, is only accomplished by some kind of change in the nucleus of an atom. It's a nuclear change, and a nuclear reaction is the only change that will facilitate transmutation.
Why is the following statement not an example of a transmutation Zinc reacts with copper sulfate to produce copper and zinc sulfate?
Transmutation refers to a nuclear reaction. The equation you have is that of single replacement - a type of a chemical reaction.
What happens when a compound undergoes a chemical reaction?
When a compound undergoes a chemical reaction, it is forever altered. It can never go back to the way it was before the reaction took place.
