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.
If an isotope is radioactive then what part of it breaks down over time?
In a radioactive isotope, the unstable nucleus is the part that breaks down over time. This decay process involves the emission of radiation, which can take the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays, and leads to the transformation of the original isotope into a more stable form or a different element altogether. The rate of this decay is characterized by the isotope's half-life, which is the time it takes for half of a sample to decay.
A beta particle is a what created and emitted from an unstable nucleus?
A beta particle is an electron or a positron emitted from an unstable nucleus during beta decay. Beta decay occurs when a neutron in the nucleus changes into a proton and emits either an electron (beta minus decay) or a positron (beta plus decay) to achieve a more stable configuration.
How beta particles are emitted from nuclei as there are no electrons in nucleas of an atom than from where beta rays are emmited?
nucleus is a very complicated region and we known little about thattheoretically a neutron is broken down to a proton and a beta particle during radioactivity so with in nucleus beta particle is a part of neutron.
Which type of radiation alpha beta or gamma is a fast moving electron ejected from the nucleus?
A fast moving electron given off as part of a nuclear reactions is a beta particle. Also, anti-electrons, known as positrons, are beta particles. Electrons are involved in beta- decay, along with anti-neutrinos; and positrons are involved in beta+ decay, along with neutrinos.
What particles can thorium emit?
Alpha particles but also electrons and gamma radiations (Th 232).

What happens when U-235emits a beta particle?
When U-235 emits a beta particle, it undergoes beta decay, transforming into Neptunium-235 (Np-235). During this process, a neutron in the nucleus of U-235 is converted into a proton, releasing a beta particle in the form of an electron and an antineutrino.

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 is a fast-moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay.?
One part of a beta- particle. The other part is an electron antineutrino
