What else can I help you with?
Energy and high-speed atomic particles released during a nuclear reaction are called?
Can be alpha, beta particles in radioactive decay, or neutrons in fission. There is also gamma ray energy which is part of the EM spectrum I believe the answer your looking for is Radiation
What is a by product of radioactive decay?
The 3 things that can happen during radioactive decay is the 3 parts of decay: Alpha decay, Beta decay, and Gamma decay. In alpha decay, which is the weakest part of decay, it has a positive helium neuclus(2 protons and 2 neutrons), and the particles will burn your skin, but can be easily stopped by a peice of paper. This is the most ionising as the helium nucleus can take electrons from other atoms and make them unstable. This can give rise to cancers as it distorts cells. In Beta decay (an electron or a positron) is emitted. In the case of electron emission, it is referred to as "beta minus" (β−). It can be stopped by 3mm of aluminum. Gamma decay, which is the strongest, can only be stopped by 3cm of lead. It has electromagnetic waves, it contains the most energy, and therefore is the most penetrating, but normally it just passes straight through the human body. Radioactive decay can be very harmful, and its best to stay away. This question has been anwsered by Rae-Ann Salisbury.
Which is not one of the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum - UV rays or Alpha rays or Visible light or Infrared rays?
Alpha rays are not one of the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum. Alpha rays are actually streams of alpha particles, which are clusters of two protons and two neutrons emitted by certain types of radioactive materials.
Daughter product in part a decays by alpha emission?
Alpha decay is the emission of an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons. During alpha decay, the parent nucleus loses an alpha particle to become a different nucleus called the daughter product. The daughter product formed after alpha decay will have an atomic number that is two less and a mass number that is four less than the parent nucleus.
What type of particles are released as part of beta decay?
Beta decay involves the release of electrons (beta particles) or positrons, along with neutrinos. Beta decay occurs when a neutron changes into a proton within an atomic nucleus, which leads to the emission of a beta particle.
What particles can thorium emit?
Alpha particles but also electrons and gamma radiations (Th 232).

Why proton is not send out as a part of radioactive decay?
Oh, but they are. An alpha particle contains two protons.
Is polonium explosive?
Polonium itself is not explosive. It is a radioactive element that can spontaneously decay, emitting alpha particles. However, polonium can be used to trigger a fission reaction in a nuclear bomb as part of a beryllium-polonium initiator.
Are infrared waves given off by plutonium?
No, plutonium does not naturally emit infrared waves. Plutonium is a radioactive element that primarily emits alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays as part of its decay process. Infrared waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and are typically associated with heat radiation rather than radioactive decay.
What part do particles play in radiation?
Particle radiations: alpha particles, beta particles, positrons, neutrons, protons, muons, neutrinos, etc.
What part of the atoms caused the particles to bounce?
The heavy, dense nucleus of the atom caused the alpha particles to bounce back in Rutherford's experiment.
