Nucleus of the chemical element atomic number 2 emitted by some radioactive substances?
The nucleus of the chemical element with atomic number 2 is known as an alpha particle. It is emitted by some radioactive substances during the process of alpha decay, where a parent nucleus releases an alpha particle to become a more stable daughter nucleus. Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together.
A high-speed electron ejected from a nucleus durng radioactive decay is called a?
an alpha particle
What happens when uranium gives off an alpha 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.
What has two protons and two neutrons and is identical to a helium nucleus?
An alpha particle, one of the possible emissions in radioactive decay.
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.
What radioactive particle is the size of a helium nucleus?
alpha particle
An alpha particle has the same structure as which nucleus?
The radioactive alpha particle has the same structure as the atomic nucleus of helium. They are usually formed and emitted during alpha decay.
Is an alpha particle radioactive?
An alpha particle itself is not radioactive, but it is the result of a type of radioactive decay called (obviously) alpha decay. The alpha particle is actually a helium-4 nucleus, and it will eventually pick up a pair of electrons and become an atom of that inert or noble gas.

What happens when two protons and two neutrons are ejected from a radium nucleus?
The radioactive gas radon is obtained: 226Ra-----alpha particle------222Rn
If a radioactive nucleus with an atomic number of 88 emits an alpha particle what will the atomic number of the new nucleus be?
Two less, since the alpha particle takes away two protons.
Positively charged particle consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons which is given off by a radioactive substance is called what?
A radiation particle consisting of two protons and two neutrons is called an Alpha Particle. Alpha Particles have the same structure as a Helium nucleus. There are three forms of radiation, Alpha (Helium nucleus), Beta (a lone electron) and Gamma (an Electromagnetic wave).
When radium atomic number 88 emits an alpha particle the resulting nucleus has atomic numbers?
226Ra------------alpha particle----------222Rn (radon, a radioactive gas)
Which naturally occurring radioactive particle is the largest?
Alpha particles are the same size as a helium nucleus and are made up of 2 protons and two neutrons. They have no electrons so an alpha particle has a +2 charge
A high-speed electron ejected from a nucleus durng radioactive decay is called a?
an alpha particle
