How does radioactive decay become radioactive?
That depends on the specific radioisotope. For instance, uranium 238 emits an alpha particle during radioactive decay, reducing the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus by 2 each and producing thorium 234. On the other hand, carbon 14 emits a beta particle (an electron) during radioactive decay, decreasing the number of neutrons and increasing the number of protons by 1 each and producing nitrogen 14. There are quite a few other examples with different changes depending on the type of radioactive decay.
Was Luther Vandross ever a part of the group Change?
Yes. During the 1980s, Luther Vandross was associated with the pop-dance act Change.
How is it possible that negatively charged beta particles are emitted from a positively charged nucleus during nuclear decay?
An electron (negative particle) and an electron neutrino (neutral particle) are released when a neutron (neutral particle) changes into a proton(positive particle) therefore in order for neutral charge to create a positive particle it also has to create a negative particle to balance it out.As a significant amount of binding energy is released, the electron is ejected at high velocity as beta radiation while the much more massive nucleus containing the newly created proton recoils with very low velocity. The neutrino having almost no mass is ejected at almost the speed of light, but is nearly impossible to detect except by implication from the "missing momentum".Basically beta particles are ejected from the nucleus by conservation of momentum before and after the decay event.
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.
Who did Michael Jackson date that was black?
Yes he had many! FYI : He was black when he died, you cant change your race even though you may change your appearance.
When were uranium atoms split?
Uranium atoms are split during nuclear fission. Uranium-235 and uranium-233 are fissile with thermal neutrons and uranium-238 is fissile with fast neutrons.
Is it true or false that uranium nuclei split during nuclear fission?
It is true that a uranium nucleus splits in the nuclear fission of uranium.
When uranium-238 atomic number 92 decays by emitting an alpha particle it becomes?
The atomic number will decrease by 2. An alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus, and it contains a pair of protons and a pair of neutrons. During alpha decay, an atomic nucleus has its atomic mass decrease by 4, and its atomic number decrease by 2.
What radioactive element turns to lead when it has lost lots of energy?
It is uranium that is changed into lead during radioactive decay. Note that there are a number of intermediate steps in the conversion of uranium into stable lead. The uranium does not change directly into lead. The uranium atom undergoes decay, and a radioactive daughter product appears. This continues with radioactive daughters appearing at the end of every step - until lead appears.
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 happening with the price of uranium?
During the year 2014 the uranium price was fluctuate; but on long term the price is increasing.
What problemes comme from uranium ecologicaly?
Uranium is a toxic and radioactive element; leakages from uranium plants (and also from phosphates plants) can lead to a contamination of soils and waters with uranium, or radium; radon is also released during time.
What happens to a water particle during precipitation?
During precipitation, a water particle is released from the clouds. This particle can be in the form of a water droplet of rain, sleet, snow, freezing rain or even hail.
Is acceleration is possible during steady flow?
the term steady implies no change at a point in time, however particle speed can change from point to point. ie, water novel, steady flow with increase in velocity
What happens to an isotope during radioactive?
That depends on the specific radioisotope. For instance, uranium 238 emits an alpha particle during radioactive decay, reducing the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus by 2 each and producing thorium 234. On the other hand, carbon 14 emits a beta particle (an electron) during radioactive decay, decreasing the number of neutrons and increasing the number of protons by 1 each and producing nitrogen 14. There are quite a few other examples with different changes depending on the type of radioactive decay.
If you had a uranium pellet would you need one of those vests that they use during x-rays to block all the chances of being radiated?
Not necessary for natural uranium; the most energetic gamma radiation of natural uranium has an energy of only ca. 183 keV uranium; uranium is not so dangerous as a radioactive element. Uranium is more toxic - ingested or inhaled.
