no, kc stable siya n remember if stable ang isang isotope, it is not radioactive.
An electron, also known in this context as a beta particle.
When uranium gives off an alpha particle, it undergoes radioactive decay and transforms into a different element. The alpha particle emitted is composed of two protons and two neutrons, equivalent to a helium-4 nucleus. This process helps to stabilize the atomic nucleus by reducing its size and releasing energy.
Atomic nuclei that are unstable and decaying are said to be radioactive. Radioactive decay involves alpha, beta and gamma particle emissions.
When a radioactive nucleus emits an alpha particle, it decreases by two protons and two neutrons. This results in a new nucleus with a lower atomic number by 2 and lower mass number by 4. The emitted alpha particle is a helium nucleus (2 protons and 2 neutrons) and carries a positive charge.
When Fr-223 undergoes alpha decay, it emits an alpha particle consisting of two protons and two neutrons. This transforms the nucleus into a different element with atomic number decreased by 2 and atomic mass number decreased by 4.
226Ra------------alpha particle----------222Rn (radon, a radioactive gas)
Alpha decay occurs when thorium-231 undergoes radioactive decay to form protactinium-231. In alpha decay, a nucleus emits an alpha particle (two protons and two neutrons) to transform into a nucleus with a lower atomic number.
An electron, also known in this context as a beta particle.
If an isotope undergoes beta emission, a neutron in the nucleus is transformed into a proton, along with the emission of a beta particle (an electron) and an antineutrino. This process increases the atomic number of the nucleus by one but leaves the mass number unchanged.
Atomic nuclei that are unstable and decaying are said to be radioactive. Radioactive decay involves alpha, beta and gamma particle emissions.
Two less, since the alpha particle takes away two protons.
An atomic nucleus gives off a particle to become more stable and reach a lower energy state. This process is known as radioactive decay.
When uranium gives off an alpha particle, it undergoes radioactive decay and transforms into a different element. The alpha particle emitted is composed of two protons and two neutrons, equivalent to a helium-4 nucleus. This process helps to stabilize the atomic nucleus by reducing its size and releasing energy.
The result is radon, atomic number 86. 226Ra - alpha particle = 222Rn (radon, a radioactive gas)
When lead-210 undergoes radioactive decay to become bismuth-210, it undergoes beta decay. In this process, a neutron in the lead-210 nucleus is converted into a proton, emitting a beta particle (an electron) and an antineutrino. This transformation increases the atomic number by one, resulting in the formation of bismuth-210 while the mass number remains the same.
Lead-208, which is not radioactive
Atomic nuclei that are unstable and decaying are said to be radioactive. Radioactive decay involves alpha, beta and gamma particle emissions.
