What element was made by bombarding plutonium and alpha particles?
The reaction is:Pu-239 + alpha = Cm-242 + n
Mendelevium does it occur naturally in nature or is manmade?
Mendelevium is a manmade element and does not occur naturally in nature. It is produced by bombarding einsteinium with alpha particles in a particle accelerator.
What element has atomic structure similar to an alpha particle?
The element with atomic structure similar to an alpha particle is helium. An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons, the same as the nucleus of a helium atom.
Are the alpha particle and helium nucleus the same thing?
Yes and no, alpha particles are a form or radiation (a helium nucleus), they are emitted from an unstable radioactive element which decays (and turns into some lighter element) by emitting the alpha particle. This form of decay is called alpha decay.
What element has the same number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus as an alpha particle?
An alpha particle has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. That is the same as a helium nucleus.
Which element on bombarding with an alpha particle gives Oxygen-17?
Nitrogen-14 bombarded with an alpha particle (helium-4) gives Oxygen-17.

Is bombardment of alpha particles on beryllium artificial radioactivity?
You can say that as long as the alpha particle itself is not originating from a radioactive element. If however one is able to isolate the helium nucleus from the elemental atom and then used for bombarding towards the beryllium then it is considered as an example of artificial radioactivity. Or the production of a radioactive element(synthetic element) like Francium can be considered artificial radioactivity.
What element does californium make when it emits an alpha particle?
When californium emits an alpha particle, it creates curium.
What is the millikans contribution to the atom model theory?
Robert Millikan did his experiment by bombarding a thin sheet of beryllium with an alpha particle newtest3
What element is formed when Ra emits an alpha particle?
When radium (Ra) emits an alpha particle, it transforms into radon (Rn). This process is also known as alpha decay, where an alpha particle is released from the nucleus of the radium atom, resulting in the formation of a new element.
Are the alpha particle and helium nucleus the same thing?
Yes and no, alpha particles are a form or radiation (a helium nucleus), they are emitted from an unstable radioactive element which decays (and turns into some lighter element) by emitting the alpha particle. This form of decay is called alpha decay.
What element does thorium-230 decay when it emits an alpha particle?
Thorium-230 decays into radium-226 when it emits an alpha particle.
What element has the same number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus as an alpha particle?
An alpha particle has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. That is the same as a helium nucleus.
What element is produced when nitrogen 14 is bombarded with an alpha particle and a positron is emitted?
In the reaction where nitrogen-14 absorbs an alpha particle, we see the formation of oxygen-17 and a proton. Here's how it looks: 714N + 24He => 11P + 817O Note that the alpha particle is written the way it is because we know that an alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus. Simple and easy. The equation is balanced, and you can observe that by adding the subscript and the superscript numerals on one side and checking them against those on the other side. In this case, 7 + 2 = 1 + 8, and 14 + 4 = 1 + 17.
