What nuclear reaction would result in a decrease in neutrons?
Beta decay converts a neutron to a proton, an electron, and an electron neutrino.
What heappens to an atom that experiences radioactive decay?
Electron capture is the absorption of an electron by an atomic nucleus if that nucleus is neutron poor. An electron is captured, usually from an inner electron shell of that atom, and it will convert a proton in the nucleus into a neutron. We know that a neutron is converted into a proton and an electron in neutron decay, so it might be looked at as something of an opposite nuclear reaction where a proton and an electron combine to form a neutron.
In a nuclear fission reaction a freely moving neutron?
In a nuclear fission reaction, a freely moving neutron undergoes neutron capture and initiates the nuclear fission of a fuel atom.
A nuclear particle that has about the same mass as a proton but with no electrical charge is called a nucleus b electron c neutron d electron cloud?
c) neutron Neutrons are nuclear particles with approximately the same mass as a proton but with no electrical charge. They contribute to the nucleus of an atom along with protons.
When a nucleus absorbs a neutron and then breaks apart there are many products of the reaction . Which of these is not a product of a nuclear fission reaction?
Uranium-235

What kind of nuclear reaction is seen in 9039Y 9040Zr plus 0-1e?
This is an example of beta decay, specifically beta-minus decay. In this reaction, a neutron in the nucleus is transformed into a proton, electron, and anti-neutrino. This results in the formation of 90Zr from 90Y.

What particle is needed to begin nuclear chain reaction?
Neutron particle is needed to begin nuclear chain reaction.
What forces in carbon 14 does isotope transform a neutron into a proton?
Nuclear forces are the exact forces in carbon-14 that transforms a neutron into a proton. The actual process includes alpha decay, beta decay, relative dating, and absolute dating.
in a nuclear fission reaction, a freely moving neutron is introduced to a nuclear fuel, such as uranium-235. What happens next?
A neutron is absorbed by an atoms nucleus
What accomplishes the release of the nuclear energy in a reactor?
neutron chain reaction
What is electron capture?
Simply put, electron capture is a nuclear change that an atom might undergo when there are "too many" protons in its nucleus. This atom is unstable, and an electron from an inner orbit will actually be "pulled into" the nucleus. Once there, the electron will "combine" with a proton, and the proton will be transformed into a neutron. This will result in the formation of a new element as a result of the nuclear transformation.

Besides the neutron what was the other product of Chadwick's nuclear reaction?
carbon-12
