These are known as alpha, beta, and gamma rays. Alpha rays are helium-4 nuclei, beta rays can be electrons or positrons, gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves.

Any process where the nucleus emits particles is called?

radiation


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.


What is the release of nuclear particles and energy called?

If atoms are radioactive, they can emit alpha,beta, or gamma radiation. The energy of the particles or rays emitted depends on the exact isotopes concerned, and varies widely from one to another.


Which nuclear decay particles would inflict the most tissue damage if ingested?

alpha particles


What is the process by which an unstable isotope will emit nuclear radiation until it has a stable number of protons and neutrons called?

The process is called radioactive decay. During this process, an unstable isotope will emit nuclear radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays in order to reach a stable configuration with a balanced number of protons and neutrons.


What is the spontaneous release of particles or radiation from the nucleus of an atom called?

This is known as nuclear fission; the type of reaction that brings us nuclear power.


Reactions involving the particles in the nucleus of an atom are called what?

Nuclear Fusion. This process involves 'fusing' together two smaller nuclei to form a bigger nucleus.


What is it called when atoms are unstable and undergo a nuclear decay?

radioactive decay


What is The spontaneous decay of an atom is called?

Nuclear decay.Different types of nuclear decay include:Alpha Decay, where the nucleus ejects a charged particle made of protons and neutrons.Beta Decay, where a neutron turns into a proton, a Beta particle (an electron or positron) and a neutrino.Gamma radiation can also be emitted in these processes.


Type of nuclear decay consisting of a helium nucleus?

Alpha decay. Alpha particles are the same as a helium-4 nucleus.


What are reactants and products in nuclear decay equations?

In nuclear decay equations, reactants are the original unstable nucleus undergoing decay, while products are the resulting stable or daughter nucleus and any emitted particles such as alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. The reactants are on the left side of the equation, and the products are on the right side.


The process by which high-energy particles and rays aare released?

This process is called particle radiation or particle emission, and it occurs when high-energy particles such as alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays are released from the nucleus of an atom. This emission can happen during radioactive decay or in nuclear reactions.
