The energy can be viewed as thermal, kinetic, electrical, or electromagnetic.

But at the atomic and subatomic level, these are often viewed as much the same. What one person might call a fast neutron, another might call a hot neutron. The measurement could be in degrees Celsius, or in kilometers per second. But it is usually in electron volts. This applies not only to the particles or waves emitted, but to the daughter atoms.

What happened during nuclear decay?

New elements(or isotopes of decaying element) are produced and energy is released


Which particle is emitted during the nuclear decay of Ne-19?

During the nuclear decay of Ne-19, a positron is emitted.


Who produces Helium-3?

Helium-3 is not produced; it is a naturally occurring isotope formed through the decay of tritium. It can also be extracted during the operation of nuclear reactors and obtained through the decay of tritium in nuclear weapons.


Do element identities reamin the same or change during nuclear decay?

That depends on the nuclear decay type. For gamma decay, the identity does NOT change, but for alpha and beta, it does.


Which of the following is not produced by nuclear decay A Alpha particles B Beta particles C Gamma rays D Delta particles?

There is no such thing as delta particles in nuclear decay.


How is iodine-131 produced by tellurium?

Iodine-131 is produced through the decay of tellurium-132, which occurs in nuclear reactors as a byproduct of uranium fission. Tellurium-132 undergoes beta decay to transform into iodine-132, which then further decays to iodine-131 through another beta decay process. This transformation is part of the decay chain of certain isotopes produced during the fission of nuclear fuel. Iodine-131 is significant in medical applications, particularly in the treatment of thyroid disorders.

How is it that radioactive decay has always warmed the earth from the inside and nuclear fusion has always warmed the earth from the outside?

That's because of where each of these processes occur. There is no nuclear fusion inside of Earth. There is probably a small amount of radioactive decay in the Sun, but the power produced by it is insignificant, compared to the huge amount of power produced by nuclear fusion.


Where does gamma radiation come from?

Gamma radiation comes from the nuclei of atoms, usually as a result of nuclear reactions or radioactive decay. It is the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation and can be produced by processes such as nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, or from certain types of radioactive decay.


How come beta particles are electrons and at the same time they are produced from nuclear which contains only proton and neutron?

They are a product of the weak nuclear force, allowing the decay of neutrons to protons and electrons. They did not preexist in the nucleus before this decay.


The nuclear product of radioactive decay is called the offspring nuclide. True False?

True. The offspring nuclide is the resulting nucleus that is produced as part of the radioactive decay process.
