Is a chain reaction possible in a substance that emit no neutrons when it fission?

No, a chain reaction is not possible in a substance that emits no neutrons when it undergoes fission. Neutrons are required to sustain a chain reaction by triggering the fission of other atoms in the substance. Without neutron production, the fission process cannot continue to release energy and sustain the chain reaction.


How uranium effect your environment?

Uranium undergoes radioactive decay and emits alpha particles which can damage tissue.


An atom that undergoes excitation and de-excitation emits?

An atom that undergoes excitation and de-excitation emits photons of light. When an electron in an atom absorbs energy and moves to a higher energy level (excitation), it eventually returns to its original state (de-excitation) and emits a photon of light corresponding to the energy difference between the two levels.


What are the nuclear equations for the following processes bismuth 214 undergoes b-minus decay potassium-38 undergoes b-plus emission plutonium-242 emits radiation?

Bismuth-214 undergoes beta-minus decay: 214Bi --> 214Po + e^- Potassium-38 undergoes beta-plus emission: 38K --> 38Ar + e^+ Plutonium-242 emits radiation: No specific nuclear equation as "emits radiation" is a general statement.


What happens to ice nd magnesium when heated?

When ice is heated, it melts into water and eventually evaporates into steam as it reaches its boiling point. When magnesium is heated, it undergoes a chemical reaction with oxygen in the air to form magnesium oxide and emits a bright white light.


Why is the waste produced from a nuclear reaction harmful?

Because it emits ionising radiation


What always occurs when a radioisotope emits radiation?

When a radioisotope emits radiation, it undergoes radioactive decay, transforming into a more stable element. This process releases energy in the form of radiation, which can be in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays.


Which particle is emitted from a hydrogen-3 nucleus when it undergoes radioactive decay?

When a hydrogen-3 nucleus undergoes radioactive decay, it emits a beta particle (specifically an electron) and an anti-neutrino to transform into helium-3.


When bismuth 214 emits a positron the remaining daughter nucleus is what?

When bismuth-214 emits a positron, it undergoes beta-plus decay to produce polonium-214. This decay process involves the conversion of a proton into a neutron, releasing a positron and a neutrino.
