What are characteristics of radioisotopes?
Radioisotopes are isotopes of an element with unstable nuclei that undergo radioactive decay. They emit radiation in the form of alpha, beta, or gamma particles. Radioisotopes are used in medical imaging, cancer treatment, and dating archaeological artifacts.
What are atoms with unstable nuclei and will change into another atom called?
Atoms with unstable nuclei that undergo radioactive decay to transform into another atom are called radioactive isotopes or radioisotopes. These isotopes emit radiation in the form of particles or electromagnetic waves as they decay. This process can result in the formation of different elements or isotopes, depending on the type of decay.
What are alpha rays attracted to?
Magnetic fieldsNegatively charged objects
What is the collective name of high-energy particles and rays given off by the nuclei of atoms?
The energy is called nuclear radiation, high energy particles and rays that are emitted by the nuclei of some atoms.

What are isotopes which send off charged particles and radiant energy from their nuclei called?
It is called a radioisotope.

Beta particles are attracted by atomic nuclei because?
Beta particles are electrons. Electrons have a negative charge. Nuclei are protons, with a positive charge, and neutrons, with no charge; thus the nucleus is positively charged. Positively charged particles are attracted to negatively charged particles, and vice versa.
Are nuclei made up of only positively charged particles?
No, they are also made up of neutral partials called neutrons.
Why did the path of only some alpha particles deviate in Rutherford experiment?
Alpha particles are positively charged helium nuclei. As such, they are repelled by other positively-charged nuclei. In Rutherford's experiment, he used gold foil. Since gold atoms have large, massive nuclei, the alpha particles were easily repelled by the large gold atom nuclei, and they were scattered in different directions.
Which particles is similar to a He nucleus?
The so-called alpha particles ARE helium nuclei.
What does nuclei contain?
Nuclei contain protons (positively charged particles) and neutrons (no charge). numbers of neutrons and protons makes up mass of atom.
What are alpha rays attracted to?
Magnetic fieldsNegatively charged objects
What causes plasma to form?
Plasma forms when a gas becomes extremely hot. When this happens, the gas' atoms gain lots of energy. This energy causes the electrons to detach from the nuclei of the gas' atoms. When the negatively charged electrons detach, the positively charged protons and neutral particles called neutrons in the nuclei are left.
When a beam of alpha particles passes between two electrically charged plates - which plate is the beam deflected toward?
The beam would be deflected to the negative plate, as alpha particles are Helium nuclei and are positively charged.
A positively charged particle found in the nucleus of an atom is what?
A proton. You can easily find this on the web.
Are beta particles the same as helium nuclei?
B- particles are electrons. They are not Helium nuclei.
