What is the process that allows the nucleus of radium-226 to become more stable?
Nuclear decay.
How do naphthalene balls become smaller. name the process?
The process is called sublimation.
A free-moving neutron is absorbed by the nucleus of an atom. This can cause?
the atom to become unstable and rip apart
What process causes the Peat to become coal?
compaction
What process is occurring that makes the someone's breath become visible?
condensation
What is the process that allows the nucleus of radium-226 to become more stable?
Nuclear decay.
What element does radium become once it has decayed?
Radium undergoes radioactive decay, specifically alpha decay, to become radon. Radium-226 (226Ra) will undergo alpha decay releasing that alpha particle, which is a helium-4 nucleus, to become radon-222 (222Rn).
Which of these plant cells is alive but has no nucleus?
Plant cells that are transitioning from parenchyma to collenchyma. The transition process sheds the nucleus as the cell walls become thickened and the cell beings to die. This is the process that is responsible for tree bark.
What is an irreversible process during which the cell degenerates and the nucleus may become fragmented and protein denature?
Necrosis
What does an atom of radium-266 become after decaying?
lead
Why do non-radioactive substances become radioactive when placed near a radium compound?
Radium, being radioactive, will irradiate and activate some things placed near a sample. The element radium in its "natural" form is an alpha particle emitter, and things that get hit by an alpha particle have a chance of undergoing nuclear transformation. An alpha particle, which is emitted by a 226Ra atom when it decays, is a helium-4 nucleus. It's composed of two protons and two neutrons. This is a "heavy hitter" as regards particulate radiation. It won't travel far, even in air, because it is too massive and it "runs into stuff" in scattering reactions because of its size. But when it reacts with a nucleus, things happen. That's how some materials near a radium source become radioactive.
What is The process that allows people born in a foreign country to become us citizens called?
It is call Naturalization.
Why does nonradioactive substances become radioactive when placed near a radium compound?
This phenomenon is rare, non obligatory. For example beryllium irradiated with alpha particles from radium emit neutrons.
What would happen if the membranes of a nucleus became permeable to most substances?
The nucleus would be damaged.
Why does radium glows in dark?
No, radium does not glow in the dark. If it did, then the whole world would be glowing in the dark. Rocks, soil, plants, and any living thing contains some radioactive material. The myth can be traced back to the "radium craze" of the early 20th century, when radium was just about added to everything. When the radium was added to paint, it became luminous. This was the origin of the "radium glow". In fact, it wasn't the radium glowing, but it was reacting with the copper and zinc in the paint, causing it to become luminous, in a phenomenon called "radio-luminescence".
Some atoms such as carbon-14 whose nuclei are not stable lose parts of their nucleus through decay -In the process they become another element -Atoms such as this are said to be?
Radioactive.
Division of body cell nuclei?
The threadlike bodies of cells within the nucleus are called chromosomes, also known as DNA. They become visible during the division process.
