What else can I help you with?
What are the three products of radioactivity decay?
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
Are the alpha particle and helium nucleus the same thing?
Yes and no, alpha particles are a form or radiation (a helium nucleus), they are emitted from an unstable radioactive element which decays (and turns into some lighter element) by emitting the alpha particle. This form of decay is called alpha decay.
Alpha and beta decay emit what?
Alpha decay emits an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons. Beta decay emits either an electron (beta minus decay) or a positron (beta plus decay).
One kind of radiation not released by radioactive decay is .?
alpha particles
How are alpha and beta particles the same?
Alpha and beta particles are the same in that changes in unstable atomic nuclei can release alpha particles or can beta particles (depending on the isotope involved), and both are forms of particulate radiation.
What are the products of radioactive decay?
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
Is alpha and beta decay are almost always accompanied by what?
Alpha and beta decay are often accompanied by the emission of gamma radiation. Gamma radiation is a high-energy form of electromagnetic radiation that helps to stabilize the nucleus after alpha or beta decay.
What are the three products of radioactivity decay?
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
What is the same between alpha and beta decay?
both are particle ionizing radiation that comes as a result of nuclear transformation.
Are the alpha particle and helium nucleus the same thing?
Yes and no, alpha particles are a form or radiation (a helium nucleus), they are emitted from an unstable radioactive element which decays (and turns into some lighter element) by emitting the alpha particle. This form of decay is called alpha decay.
Alpha and beta decay emit what?
Alpha decay emits an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons. Beta decay emits either an electron (beta minus decay) or a positron (beta plus decay).
What produces a alpha wave?
If you mean "alpha radiation", that is the result of certain types of radioactive decay.
One kind of radiation not released by radioactive decay is .?
alpha particles
What do unstable isotopes become when they decay?
Unstable isotopes become more stable isotopes or different elements when they decay through processes such as alpha or beta decay. The decay results in the emission of radiation in the form of alpha or beta particles and gamma rays.
What type of radiation alpha beta or gamma is emitted by thorium-230?
alpha particles.
How are alpha and beta particles the same?
Alpha and beta particles are the same in that changes in unstable atomic nuclei can release alpha particles or can beta particles (depending on the isotope involved), and both are forms of particulate radiation.
Do all atoms have beta decay?
No. Many atoms do not decay at all. Many that do undergo alpha decay. A few atoms emit neutron radiation.
