What else can I help you with?
Is nuclear decay spontaneous or artificial?
Matter can be made to undergo nuclear decay in reactors, but it is a process that occurs spontaneously in nature.
Which equation represents a spontaneous nuclear decay?
All nuclear decay is spontaneous.
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.
What is the nuclear decay equation for Chromium?
Natural chromium is stable and does not decay/
Which is not a type of nuclear decay?
zeyta
Is nuclear decay spontaneous or artificial?
Matter can be made to undergo nuclear decay in reactors, but it is a process that occurs spontaneously in nature.
Is an input of energy required in order for nuclear decay to happen in an atom?
No, an input of energy is not required for nuclear decay to happen in an atom. Nuclear decay is a spontaneous process that occurs when an unstable nucleus emits particles or energy to become more stable.
What are the forms of nuclear decay?
what are the forms of nuclear decay
What is mass converted to in nuclear processes?
nuclear decay, such as alpha decay or beta decay.
Where do nuclear decay occur naturally?
Radioactive Decay occurs naturally all around us. If you test for radiation with a Geiger Counter, you will find that it picks up radiation in the air around you. Mostly, however, radioactive decay occurs in the earth's crust. I cannot name a specific element, as there are many that decay.
Can Radioactive decay can involve electrons?
Yes. That's what "beta radiation" is. (occurs when a neutron becomes a proton).
Which process is not a common form of natural radioactive decay?
Nuclear fission is not a common form of natural radioactive decay. Nuclear fission occurs when a heavy atomic nucleus splits into smaller nuclei, releasing energy in the process, but it is primarily associated with artificial processes such as nuclear power generation or nuclear weapons.
Transmutation reactions can occur when the?
In nuclear science, transmutation is where one chemical element or isotope is converted into another. It occurs when materials decay, or it can be caused by nuclear reaction.
Which equation represents a spontaneous nuclear decay?
All nuclear decay is spontaneous.
What nuclear decay have similar qualities to helium nucleus?
Alpha nuclear decay
Can Radioactive decay involve electrons?
Yes. That's what "beta radiation" is. (occurs when a neutron becomes a proton).
What nuclear process usually occurs in geothermal energy?
The nuclear process that usually occurs in geothermal energy is the decay of radioactive elements such as uranium, thorium, and potassium in the Earth's crust. This decay process produces heat that warms the surrounding rock and water, creating geothermal energy.
