Naturally occurring scandium 45Sc is stable. However synthetic isotopes of scandium can have 36 to 60 nucleons. Isotopes with masses above the stable isotope decay through beta emission into isotopes of titanium. Isotopes below the stable variety decay, mainly by electron capture, into isotopes of calcium.
Aluminium-26 and carbon-14 are disintegrated by emission of beta radiation.
Plants have chlorophyll to capture energy from the sun through the process of photosynthesis. This pigment absorbs light energy, which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, a form of chemical energy that can be stored and used by the plant.
Ammonium hydroxide can be used to capture CO2 through a process known as carbon capture and storage (CCS). In this process, the CO2 is absorbed by the ammonium hydroxide solution, forming ammonium carbonate. The ammonium carbonate can then be further processed to extract the CO2 for storage or utilization.
The underlined clause "which capture the energy from the sun" in the sentence "Plate collectors which capture the energy from the sun are used to heat water and homes" is an adverb clause modifying the noun "Plate collectors." It provides information on how the plate collectors function.
Nuclear notations are used to represent the decay of one element into another. The generic formula for a radioactive element is X-M = X-(M-4) + He-4 where X is the symbol for the element, M represents the mass number for the element. An equation for gold-191 may be Au-191 = Au-187 + He-4.
When 195Au undergoes electron capture, a proton in the nucleus is converted into a neutron. This results in the production of 195Pt as the daughter nucleus.
This is the isotope erbium-167.
U-238 undergoes neutron capture to form U-239 which decays to Np-239 and further to Pu-239. Pu-239 then undergoes beta decay to form Pu-241. The balanced nuclear equation is: U-238 + n --> U-239 --> Np-239 --> Pu-239 --> Pu-241.
Mercury-201 undergoes electron capture by capturing an electron from its inner shell, converting a proton to a neutron in the nucleus. This process leads to the formation of a new element, gold-201, with the emission of an electron neutrino.
The equation for the radioactive decay reaction electron capture by rubidium 82 is: 82Rb + e⁻ → 82Kr + ν where 82Rb is the radioactive isotope of rubidium, e⁻ represents an electron, 82Kr is the resulting isotope of krypton, and ν denotes an electron neutrino.
After electron capture a neutrino is released.
Potassium-40 undergoes radioactive decay into argon-40. During this process, a potassium atom undergoes electron capture where a proton in the nucleus captures an inner-shell electron and is transformed into a neutron. The result is the transformation of a potassium atom into an argon atom by emitting an electron and an antineutrino.
Electron capture occurs when an electron from the innermost orbital of an atom is captured by a nucleus, which leads to the conversion of a proton into a neutron.
During electron capture, an electron and proton combine and are converted to a neutron.
The capture creates a "hole", or missing electron, that is filled by a higher energy electron that emits X-rays.
The beta plus decay of mercury (a positron emission event) will deliver the daughter nucleus gold.
