It deff not C. neutron ... Im taking the same test... It sux ... but im making up credits to graduate. :)
Im back I think its D. ... I guess again and A. is also incorrect.
the answer is d i just took the test and got that ? correct
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am also on Plato to Graduate and yes D is correct! :D
------------------------------------------------------------------------
the answer is D all the above
What else can I help you with?
What type of radioactive decay removes a helium nucleus and has a very low enegry level?
A helium nucleus - more precisely, a helium-4 nucleus - is called an alpha particle. The corresponding decay would be called alpha decay.
Importance of radioactive decay?
it is used by scientist to to calculate a rock's age
Radioactive decay occurs when?
When a radioactive element slowly turns into another element/s when it emits various particles.
What is a radioactive decay series and when does it end?
Usually called a 'decay chain', there is a series of radioactive decays which end with a stable isotope. Ex: uranium undergoes about 14 steps in the decay chain that ends with the formation of a stable isotope of Lead.
What is the lightest element that can undergo radioactive decay and what type of decay occurs in that element?
The lightest "element" that can undergo radioactive decay is the isotope hydrogen-3, which undergoes beta decay. The lightest element with no radioactively stable isotopes is technetium, and its isotopes have different modes of decay.
Radioactive decay occurs when the nucleus ejects the?
Radioactive decay occurs when the nucleus of unstable atoms eject protons, positrons or electron in order to attain a stable atomic structure. This yields new elements with reduced atomic number.
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.
What is the diffirence between nuclear force and weak nuclear force?
Yes. The Strong Nuclear Force is the force that holds the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus and is transmitted by gluons. It is the glue that holds the nucleus together. The Weak Force is responsible for the decay of radioactive elements. It ejects neutrons from the nucleus of a radioactive atom.
Is spontaneous fusion a form of radioactive decay?
No, the fusion process is the opposite of the radioactive decay process. Fusion is the merging together of nuclei to form a heavier nucleus whereas fission or radioactive decay is the splitting apart of a heavy nucleus into lighter daughter nuclei.
What is an unstable nucleus that starts a decay process called?
A nucleus that starts to decay is called a radioactive nucleus or atom. It decays with a known and unique half life by several processes including but not limited to beta decay, alpha decay, electron capture decay, and positron emission.
Is the best definition of radioactive decay?
Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of a nucleus into smaller parts.
What is the best definition of radioactive decay?
Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of a nucleus into smaller parts.
What happens during radiocative decay?
Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. This emission helps the nucleus become more stable by transforming it into a different element. The rate at which radioactive decay occurs is measured by the half-life of the unstable nucleus, which is the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample to decay.
When a radioactive nucleus decays and forms a new nucleus is the new nucleus always radioactive?
No. A stable nucleus can form. If the new nucleus is radioactive, then it will contiue to decay until a non radioactive nucleus is attained.
Why is a neutron not radioactive in a nucleon?
Neutron decay occurs though the weak interaction of W bosons. While in the nucleus, the strong interaction (gluons) hold the neutron together in the atom. The neutron can still decay while in the nucleus causing beta decay.
A negative charged particle emitted during radioactive decay?
The negative charged particle emitted during radioactive decay is called a beta particle. It is essentially an electron that is released from the nucleus of the atom undergoing decay in order to conserve charge. Beta decay occurs when a neutron in the nucleus is transformed into a proton, releasing a beta particle and an antineutrino.
How are energy loss and nuclear stability related to radioactive decay?
Energy loss in the form of emitted radiation during radioactive decay occurs because the nucleus becomes more stable by undergoing the decay process. The emitted radiation carries away energy and particles, resulting in a more stable nucleus with lower energy levels. Thus, radioactive decay helps to increase the overall stability of the nucleus by reducing excess energy.
