When cobalt 60 undergoes nuclear decay it emits?
Beta Particle
What are the nuclear changes during decay of copper 67?
Copper-67 undergoes beta decay with a halflife of 59 hours, becoming stable Zinc-67.
When a nucleus undergoes nuclear decay by gamma rays the atomic number of the element?
nothing, the nucleus just relaxes to a lower energy state that is more stable
Is nuclear decay an example of a nuclear change?
Yes, it is. Nuclear decay is a process that an unstable atom goes through to lose energy and move toward a more stable state. (It may take more than one decay.) In nuclear decay, the nucleus undergoes a change by releasing a particle or particles and electromagnetic energy. Links are provided to related Wikipedia articles and related questions.
Advantages and disadvantages of nuclear reactor?
One of the advantages of the nuclear reactors is that they do not produce smoke particles that pollute the environment and therefore lead to the acidic rainfall. The other advantage is that it is easier to control the output of a nuclear reactor to fit a given need. One of the disadvantage of the nuclear reactors is that the disposal of the nuclear waste is very expensive.
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.
What is the name of the celestial body that undergoes nuclear fusion?
the sun
When do you say that stars are dead?
When the star no longer undergoes nuclear fusion.
When cobalt 60 undergoes nuclear decay it emits?
Beta Particle
What fusion in stars occurs to create the element helium?
Hydrogen undergoes nuclear fusion in the core of the sun to form helium.
Is nuclear reactors and nuclear energy the same thing?
Nuclear energy is released when U-235 undergoes fission, and that takes place in nuclear reactors (or nuclear weapons). So a reactor is a thing constructed to produce nuclear energy.
What part of a nuclear power plant that undergoes a fission reaction called?
the reactor vessel
What is a giant ball of gas primarily hydrogen and helium which undergoes nuclear fusion?
Star
In a nuclear fission reaction a freely moving neutron?
In a nuclear fission reaction, a freely moving neutron undergoes neutron capture and initiates the nuclear fission of a fuel atom.
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.
What is in the Sun's Interior?
Mainly hydrogen and some helium. The helium is created when the hydrogen undergoes nuclear fusion.
When does helium fusion begin in a star?
Hydrogen undergoes nuclear fusion to form helium at a temperature of 107 K
