When one neptunium isotope undergoes an alpha decay what does it become?

Npn decays to Pan-4 and alpha.
Only isotopes 234, 235, and 237 of neptunium can undergo alpha decay, the others decay by beta-, beta+, K capture, and/or gamma decay. So the only products of neptunium alpha decay can be protactinium isotopes 230, 231, or 233.

Which daughter element is produced from the alpha decay of americium 241?
The alpha decay of americium-241 produce neptunium-237.
What would Americium transmute into if it expelled an alpha particle?
For example americium-241 decay to neptunium-237 and americium-243 decay to neptunium-239.
When an atom undergoes radioactive decay does it become a different element?
That depends on the type of decay, alpha and beta decay change the atom into a different element but gamma decay does not.
How does polonium 216 undergo alpha decay to form a lead isotope?
The reaction is:Po-216----------------alpha particle-----------------Pb-212
Which product is formed by alpha emission from polonium 208?
The isotope lead-204 is obtained.
Which element is formed from neptunium distintigrates?
The alpha disintegration of neptunium-237 lead to the isotope protactinium-233.
How can the element Americium change into the element neptunium?
Americium decays into neptunium-239 through alpha decay. It has a half-life of 7,370 years.
What forms when neptunium atoms fall apart?
The final product of the decay chain series of neptunium is thallium-205; the first product of decay is protactinium-233.
Neptunium's only naturally occurring isotope 237 93Np decays by emitting one alpha particle one beta particle and one gamma ray What is the new atom formed from this decay?
Neptunium 237 is not a natural occurring isotope; all the isotopes of neptunium are artificially obtained. The new isotope formed by decay of Np 237 is protactinium 233.
What is the equation for the alpha decay of americium 243?
Americium-243 might undergo alpha decay to become neptunium-239, and here is that equation: 95243Am => 93239Np + 24He++ The americium-243 has undergone transmutation to become neptunium-239, and the alpha particle, which is a helium-4 nucleus, can be seen on the tail end of the equation.
How much does neptunium weigh?
The density of alpha neptunium is 20,45 g/cm3.
If Sulfur 34 undergoes alpha decay what will it become?
S-34 is stable. It will not decay.
What element is formed when neptunium disintergrates?
The daughter of neptunium 237 is protactinium 233, after alpha disintegration.
What is the alpha decay of calcium 42 equation?
There is no equation. Calcium-42 is stable and does not decay. Calcium is also much to light for alpha decay, which requires elements heavier than nickel, so no isotope of calcium undergoes alpha decay.
When a radon 222 nucleus decays what is the other product that forms?
Radon-222 undergoes alpha decay to produce polonium-218as a daughter.
What is neptunium a weight and mass?
The atomic mass of neptunium-237 is 237,048 173 4(20).The density of alpha neptunium is 20,45 g/cm3.
When an isotope undergoes alpha decay which of the following change A The name of the element B The atomic number C The mass number D All of these change?
The answer is D. All of these change.
