Particle with two protons and two neutrons ejected during decay?
An alpha particle. It is also a helium nucleus and has a charge of +2e. The ejection of an alpha particle occurs whenever the electromagnetic force overcomes the strong force in a nucleus and needs to rid itself of excess charge. The reason that a single proton is not simply ejected has to do with the stability of the alpha particle itself which is generated by the strong force. If there were more protons in an alpha particle, it would not hold together properly. It cannot have more neutrons because it simply wouldn't be ejected because of strong force.
What is a spittle?
Saliva as ejected from the mouth.
What is the Fission equation of uranium-235?
U-235 splits into a variety of fission products, see the article linked below. Also 2 or 3 neutrons are ejected, with gamma radiation. The total energy per fission is about 200 MeV, or 3.2 x 10-13 Joules.
The emission of a Beta particle has the effect of?
The emission of a Beta particle has the effect of decaying a neutron into a proton and an electron. This increases the atomic number and the electron is ejected energetically. The number of neutrons are decreased by one and the number of protons increase by one, changing the atom to a different element.
When a parent radioactive nucleus splits by ejecting an alpha particle the remaining nucleus has what left?
two protons and two neutrons less than the original nucleus.* A lower atomic mass (-4)* A lower atomic number (-2)In alpha decay, an alpha particle (helium nucleus) is given off.An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. THus the atom loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Proton number endows the identity of the element. The daughter nucleus is thus of a different element to the parent nucleus. It also has 2 fewer protons. Radium can decay by alpha emission, losing 2 protons from the original 88, leaving a nucleus of Radon with 86 protons.Neutrons and protons summed give the mass number of the atom. SInce an alpha-decayed nucleus loses a sum of 4 particles (protons and neutrons) the mass number goes down by 4.NovaNET answer: 2 protons and 2 neutrons less
The particle with two protons and two neutrons ejected during decay?
Alpha particle
What is a particle with two neutrons and two protons ejected during decay?
an alpha particle
What is the partical with two protons and two neutrons ejected during decay?
Alpha particle.
Can a nuclear reaction naturally stop?
Yes. How quickly depends on available material. In a nuclear reactor, neutrons bombard uranium atoms, destabilising the nucleus. The unstable nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei. Smaller nuclei contain proportionally less neutrons and the spare neutrons are ejected. These are available for further bombardment, but usually require slowing down (moderating) before a good chance of a chain reaction occurs. For a chain reaction there needs to be sufficient fissile material (the uranium) and sufficient thermal (quite slow) neutrons. A lack of these will lead to the chain reaction coming to a halt.
If the nucleus of an atom has a proton number of 6 and a mass number of 14 and it undergoes beta transmutation what will be the number of neutrons in the parent nucleus?
The results of beta transmutation will depend on which beta decay even occurs. If it's beta minus, a neutron will be converted into a proton and an electron will be ejected from the nucleus. The original atom with its 6 protons and 8 neutrons (6 + 8 = 14, the mass number as specified) will be an atom with 7 protons and 7 neutrons. In a beta plus decay event, a proton will be converted into a neutron and a positron will be ejected from the nucleus. The original atom with its 6 protons and 7 neutrons will be an atom with 5 protons and 8 neutrons. In addition to the ejected electron or positron, there will also be an ejected antineutrino or neutrino (respectively). Use the links below for more information on beta decay.
What happens when two protons and two neutrons are ejected from a radium nucleus?
The radioactive gas radon is obtained: 226Ra-----alpha particle------222Rn
Does a player have to leave the field after being ejected?
He is ejected and may be fined or suspended, but the game he is ejected from he can not return to that game
Can you get ejected for pushing?
If the ref says "You're ejected" then you are - they get to say.
What is the function of graphite in the first atomic reactor?
The graphite acts as a moderator, to slow neutrons down. Most fission reactors work on the basis of slow or thermalised neutrons, though some have been built using fast neutrons. When the neutrons are ejected from the uranium nucleus as it fissions or splits, they come off at high speed, but in order to be captured by another nucleus of U-235 they need to be slowed down. This is simply a physical fact, U-235 captures slow neutrons much more readily than it does fast neutrons. Graphite was used in the first demonstration reactor in 1942 and in subsequent bigger reactors at Hanford Wa. It had to be made specially with very high purity to avoid absorbing too many neutrons. Other moderators used are heavy water, as in CANDU reactors, and light water as in PWR. Light water absorbs more neutrons so the fuel has to be enriched in U-235.
What is radioactive decay in your own words?
It is when an atom's nucleus contains too many neutrons and becomes too unstable. Thus, the nucleus "wants" to become more stable and thus splits into two lighter nuclei. To get rid of the extra neutrons that were making the atom unstable, when the atom splits apart, these neutrons are ejected outwards. The two split nuclei become two separate, more stable atoms.
What is ejected debris?
"Ejected debris" the the solid material shot into the air by an erupting volcano (as opposed to the gasses ejected by the same eruption).
Is energy released from uranium 238 when the atom splits?
1. Energy (heat) 2. Fast neutrons 3. Fission products (atoms of other elements of lower atomic weight, often very radioactive). All three are produced simultaneously, for every fission that occurs.
