What else can I help you with?
Is fusion nuclear decay or nuclear synthesis?
Fusion is nuclear synthesis, combining atoms of lesser mass into atoms of greater mass. Decay is reducing the mass of larger (unstable) atoms to form atoms of lesser mass.
What is the nuclear decay equation for zirconium 97?
Zirconium does not have an isotope with mass 97.
How do you balance a nuclear decay reaction?
Follow a few rules called conservation of charge and conservation of mass number. Add all charges on the left (protons and beta particles) and this must equal the total charge on the right. Total of mass numbers on the left must equal the total of mass numbers on the right.
What type of nuclear decay release energy but not an particle?
All nuclear decay releases both energy and particles. Even gamma rays from the meta stable decay of Technetium-99m, being only photons, are particles, because a photon is considered a particle - or is it energy? - or is it mass? - hmmm? - see quantum mechanics on that one.Also, Einsten's famous mass energy equivalence equation e = mc2 states rather plainly that energy is mass and mass is energy. That means that if nuclear decay releases energy, then it also releases mass, and vice versa. There is no way around the equivalence.Do not misunderstand this. The equation does not mean that energy can be converted into mass or vice versa, it means that energy is mass and vice versa. Neither energy nor mass can be created nor destroyed. So, when an atomic bomb goes off and loses mass generating a high amount of energy, the mass that is lost is simply carried away with the energy.Sorry if it seems I deviated from the topic, but I did not. This is part of reinforcing the answer and enhancing the explanation.
How does nuclear decay affect the atomic number and mass number of a nucleus that changes after undergoing decay?
Beta+ decay and electron capture causes the atomic number to drop by one. Beta- causes the the atomic number to rise by one.Proton emission causes the atomic and mass number to drop by one.Neutron emission causes the mass number to drop by one.Alpha decay causes the atomic number to drop by two and the mass number to drop by four.
What nuclear decay have no mass and no charge?
Gamma decay involves the emission of a gamma ray, which is a high-energy photon with no charge and no mass.
What is mass converted to in nuclear processes?
nuclear decay, such as alpha decay or beta decay.
Which changes in beta decay mass number or the charge of the nucleus?
Beta decay results in either an increase or decrease in the number of protons, which results in a change in the nuclear charge and produces an atom of a different element.
A emission results in the release of energy without any apparent change in mass or nuclear charge.?
This process is known as gamma decay, which involves the emission of a gamma ray photon. Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that carries energy but does not change the mass or nuclear charge of the atom. Gamma decay is typically associated with nuclear reactions and can occur after alpha or beta decay to stabilize the nucleus.
Is fusion nuclear decay or nuclear synthesis?
Fusion is nuclear synthesis, combining atoms of lesser mass into atoms of greater mass. Decay is reducing the mass of larger (unstable) atoms to form atoms of lesser mass.
What are the particles emitted during radioactive decay with their mass and charge?
alpha: mass 4, charge +2beta: mass ~1/1800, charge -1gamma: mass 0, charge 0
What nuclear particle basically has no mass but does have a charge?
The electron has a neglible mass and a charge of minus 1.602 x 10-19 Coulombs.
Is a proton is a nuclear particle with a mass of 1 AMU and no charge?
No, that would be a neutron. A proton is a nuclear particle with a mass of 1 AMU and a 1+ charge
What is the nuclear decay equation for zirconium 97?
Zirconium does not have an isotope with mass 97.
The mass number of a nucleus decreases during which nuclear reactions?
The mass number of a nucleus decreases during nuclear reactions involving alpha decay, beta decay, and neutron emission. In these reactions, the nucleus loses mass as particles are emitted, resulting in a decrease in the mass number.
What has high energy photon with no mass or charge?
A high energy photon with no mass or charge would be a gamma ray. Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation that have the highest energy and shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum. They are typically produced during nuclear reactions or radioactive decay processes.
What is the High energy photon with no mass or electrical charge?
The high energy photon with no mass or electrical charge is a gamma ray. Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation with high energy and short wavelengths. They can be produced through processes like nuclear reactions or radioactive decay.
