What type nuclear decay produces particles that are identical to the helium nucleus?
an alpha particle
Why does the path of the beta particles bend more than the path of the alpha particles?
Beta particles (electrons) are less massive than alpha particles (Helium-4 nuclei), by a factor of approximately 8000.
What type of radiation is emitted when polonium 212 forms lead 208?
In this case alpha particles are emitted.
What are alpha particles used for?
We commonly see an isotope of americium generating alpha particles to ionize air in smoke detectors. A source generates alpha particles to ionize air in industrial settings so that the ionized air will quickly and effectively dissipate static charges. A radio pharmaceutical generates alpha particles, and the unsealed source irradiates tumors in patients that are so implanted. We find alpha particle sources in the physics lab where they are used in experiments and demonstrations. Alpha particles can be accelerated for use as "atomic bullets" in high energy physics research.
What particles or waves given off by atoms undergoing nuclear decay?
alpha decay - fully ionized helium nucleibeta decay - electrons or positrons, and electron neutrinosgamma decay - very high energy photons
Which of the following is not a type of nuclear radiation alpha particles beta particles neutron emission x rays?
X-rays are not a type of nuclear radiation. They are a type of electromagnetic radiation.
How does it go from beta to alpha particles?
It's not possible to change beta particles to alpha particles or vice versa; they're two very different things produced by different processes. Beta particles can be either electrons or they can be positrons, which are anti-electrons. Alpha particles are helium-4 nuclei, which are composed of a pair of protons and a pair of neutrons. Beta particles are produced in beta decay (one in each type), and alpha particles are produced in alpha decay. Both of these types of nuclear decay release particulate radiation. Links can be found below to check things out.
Name the nuclear radiation that can be easily stopped by skin or cloths?
alpha particles.
What nuclear emissions that identical to a helium atom?
This is alpha radiation (alpha particles).
When atoms of beryllium are bombarded with alpha particles an atom of carbon is produced and a neutron is emitted What kind of nuclear reaction occurred?
Nuclear Fission. The Nucleus of the Atom has been split apart.
How is Mendeleevium produced?
By bombarding alpha particles with Einstsenium, Mendeleevium is produced.
Describes how transuranic elements are produced?
Transuranic elements (elements with a greater atomic no.>92) are produced by the bombardment of large nuclei with neutrons in a nuclear reactor and other small particles (ie. beta and alpha particles) in a particle accelerator.
Which nuclear decay particles would inflict the most tissue damage if ingested?
alpha particles
What is the balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of thorium 230?
Th-230(alpha)Ra-226.
The scattering of alpha particles by thin metal foils established that?
Nuclear physics
What type of nuclear radiation can be blocked by a block of lead Beta particles or alpha particles?
Both Beta and alpha particles can be blocked by a block of lead. Alpha particles can even be blocked by a sheet of paper, and beta particles can be blocked by a thin aluminium plate.
Type of nuclear decay consisting of a helium nucleus?
Alpha decay. Alpha particles are the same as a helium-4 nucleus.
