When alpha particles pick up electrons they become?
When alpha particles pick up electrons, they become helium atoms. Alpha particles are essentially helium nuclei without electrons, so when they pick up electrons, they form stable helium atoms with a balance of protons and electrons.
What happens to an atom when it emits an alpha particle?
An alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus. When it captures a pair of electrons, it becomes a helium-4 atom. Alpha particles released in nuclear decay events quickly pick up a pair of electrons from the environment and become those helium atoms, and the atom is said to be electrically neutral.
Does alpha decay produce helium atoms?
No, alpha decay does not directly produce helium atoms. Alpha decay is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons. This alpha particle is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, but it is not considered a helium atom until it captures electrons and becomes electrically neutral.
What are atoms that tend to pick up electrons in a reaction called?
Anions
What is nickname for a comet and why?
I have no idea but maybe a meteor? also, sub to my channel ALPHA KRAFT make sure to pick the first one or search in google (search ALPHA KRAFT youtube to find me)
When alpha particles pick up electrons they become?
When alpha particles pick up electrons, they become helium atoms. Alpha particles are essentially helium nuclei without electrons, so when they pick up electrons, they form stable helium atoms with a balance of protons and electrons.
Is helium a product of radioactive decay?
Yes. Alpha particles can be a product of radioactive decay, and alpha particles are simply Helium nuclei. Unless they interact with other atoms, they will tend to pick up stray electrons (they need two) and become stable 4He atoms.
Beta particles will?
They have a RAVE, BABY!
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 use is alpha radiation?
It is used in smoke detectors as it cannot travel far in air. Alpha radiation is emitted and as long as the detector in the device is receiving the alpha radiation, then no smoke is present. When smoke particles are present, they interrupt the radiation, and so the detector doesn't pick up the radiation, causing the alarm to go off.

The least energetic of the forms of radioactive decay is ______?
alpha decay
What kinds of objects pick up electrons easily?
These are electrically positive objects.
What particle is identical to an alpha particle?
The nucleus of a helium-4 atom is an alpha particle. When an alpha particle, which is two protons and two neutrons, is released in nuclear decay (alpha decay), it will zip out with a lot of kinetic energy. But it will quickly slow down and pick up a pair of electrons from the environment and "become" a 24He atom.
Wha is electromagnetic force?
The electromagnetic force is a fundamental force of nature that affects electrically charged particles. It is responsible for the interactions between charged particles, such as electrons and protons, and is carried by particles called photons. This force governs many phenomena in the universe, from the interactions between atoms to the behavior of light.
What is the name of the tool that can pick up iron from sand?
A magnet can pick up tiny iron particles that are in sand.
