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.
The equation for the fission of deuterium and tritium?
1 -_- it was One!
Why are elements of even atomic numbers more abundant?
Oh, dude, it's like this - elements with even atomic numbers are more abundant because they have more stable configurations due to their filled electron shells. It's like they're the cool kids at the party who don't need to invite anyone else to feel complete. So yeah, that's why they're just hanging out, being all chill and abundant.
What are the internal processes that produce energy from stars?
Energy is released by fusion of elements to heavier elements, i.e. fusion of hydrogen to helium in the sun's core. I'm not sure what you mean by the 'composition of elements', but the hydrogen that our sun, like billions of other main sequence stars, is fusing right now is the leftover hydrogen from the Big Bang which, in billions of years' time, will eventually run out, and stars will have to fuse heavier elements, going up to iron (which means the universe will, eventually, die). Bigger stars than the sun do fuse heavier elements, in 'layers', with the heaviest (Fe) in the middle, and the lightest (H) at the surface (look up onion structure star).
What is released during alpha decay?
In beta- decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, and an electron and an electron antineutrino is emitted. More fundamentally, a down quark is converted into an up quark by the emission of a W- boson. The quark conversion is part of the neutron becoming a proton, and the W- boson subsequently decays into the electron and electron antineutrino.In beta+ decay, a proton is converted into a neutron with the addition of energy, and a positron and an electron neutrino is emitted. More fundamentally, an up quark is converted into a down quark, causing the emission of the electron and electron antineutrino. If the beta+ decay also involves K capture, which is the capture of a K shell electron into the nucleus, then there will be subsequent realignment of the electron shells and emission of photons of various energies (x-ray) as the electrons come back to ground state.

What represents an alpha particle?
An alpha particle in nuclear chemistry is a helium-4 nucleus, or 42He+2. In order to simplify, the Greek letter alpha is also used to represent the particle.
Where is berkelium found?
Berkelium is a synthetic element. It doesn't occur in nature because of its instability, so must be made in a laboratory. Discovered by Stanley G. Thompson, Albert Ghiorso, Glenn T. Seaborg, Kenneth Street - in December 1949, at Berkeley Laboratory, University of California. The nuclear reaction is: 24195Am + 42He → 24397Bk + 2 1n
What is the product of radioactive decay called?
Product of radioactive decay 42He is an alpha particle

What happens to the atom when alpha radiation is given off?
When an atom undergoes alpha radiation, it does so in order to become more stable. It does this by releasing 2 Protons and 2 Neutrons as a whole. This is essentially a helium atom with a -2 charge. This can be represented by: 42He-2
What particle is emitted when lead-214 21482Pb undergoes natural radioactive decay to bismuth-214 21483Bi?
Lead-214 undergoes beta decay to form Bismuth-214. In beta decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, emitting an electron and an antineutrino.
