What else can I help you with?
What was combined with alpha particles to create curium 242?
I suppose that the isotope formed is Am-245.
What particles does plutonium give off?
Plutonium is especially an alpha particles emitter.
Which element on bombarding with an alpha particle gives Oxygen 17?
Nitrogen-14 forms Oxygen-17 when it is bombarded by alpha particles.
Mendelevium does it occur naturally in nature or is manmade?
Mendelevium is a manmade element and does not occur naturally in nature. It is produced by bombarding einsteinium with alpha particles in a particle accelerator.
What substance does uranium and plutonium release?
The elements emit especially alpha particles.

What particles does plutonium give off?
Plutonium is especially an alpha particles emitter.
How is Mendeleevium produced?
By bombarding alpha particles with Einstsenium, Mendeleevium is produced.
Is bombardment of alpha particles on beryllium artificial radioactivity?
You can say that as long as the alpha particle itself is not originating from a radioactive element. If however one is able to isolate the helium nucleus from the elemental atom and then used for bombarding towards the beryllium then it is considered as an example of artificial radioactivity. Or the production of a radioactive element(synthetic element) like Francium can be considered artificial radioactivity.
Is plutonium the result of of the alpha decay of uranium?
Yes, plutonium is typically formed as a result of the alpha decay of uranium in nuclear reactors or in nuclear weapons. It can also be produced artificially in nuclear reactors by bombarding uranium-238 with neutrons.
Which element on bombarding with an alpha particle gives Oxygen 17?
Nitrogen-14 forms Oxygen-17 when it is bombarded by alpha particles.
What are two chemical properties of plutonium?
1. Plutonium is a reactive metal: the electronegativity of plutonium on Pauling scale is 1,28. 2. Plutonium has valences from 3 to 7.
Mendelevium does it occur naturally in nature or is manmade?
Mendelevium is a manmade element and does not occur naturally in nature. It is produced by bombarding einsteinium with alpha particles in a particle accelerator.
What substance does uranium and plutonium release?
The elements emit especially alpha particles.
When curium 242 was synthesized by bombarding an isotope with alpha particles 42He what equation would show this reaction?
The synthesis of curium-242 ((^{242}\text{Cm})) by bombarding an isotope with alpha particles ((^{4}\text{He})) can be represented by the following nuclear reaction equation: [ ^{238}\text{Pu} + ^{4}\text{He} \rightarrow ^{242}\text{Cm} + n ] In this equation, plutonium-238 ((^{238}\text{Pu})) is typically the target isotope, and a neutron ((n)) is emitted during the reaction.
To what does plutonium-239 decay when it loses an alpha particle?
Yes, plutonium-239 emits alpha particles by decay.
How did Glenn T Seaborg make californium?
Glenn T. Seaborg did not make californium himself; it was discovered by a research team at the University of California in 1950. The element was first synthesized by bombarding curium-242 with alpha particles to produce californium-245. Seaborg played a key role in the discovery and identification of californium, as well as in its naming after the state of California.
