What type of radioactive decay causes the radionuclide to become an element with a higher atomic number?
Alpha decay is the type of radioactive decay that causes the radionuclide to become an element with a higher atomic number. In alpha decay, the radionuclide emits an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons, resulting in the formation of a new element with a higher atomic number.
What particle of an atom causes the flow of electricity?
electrons
In the process of radioactive decay when one atom emits say one alpha particle why the product is referred to as another downstream atom and not an ion?
When a parent atom undergoes radioactive decay and emits an alpha particle, the resulting product is called a daughter atom rather than an ion because the process involves a change in the nucleus of the atom. The emitted alpha particle is a helium nucleus (2 protons and 2 neutrons) which is ejected from the nucleus of the parent atom. This causes the identity of the atom to change, resulting in a new element (daughter atom) with different chemical properties rather than just creating an ion of the original element.
What is an RNA particle that causes disease?
A plant pathologist discovered an infectious RNA particle smaller than a virus that causes diseases in plants. He called it a viroid. Millions each year are lost by these viroids. These contain only RNA.
When the energy of a sound wave is transferred to a particle of a medium and causes it to vibrate and generate heat the sound wave is?
Reflected
Which subatomic particle causes magnetic properties?
Electrons are the subatomic particles that are responsible for causing magnetic properties in an atom. The movement of electrons within an atom creates a magnetic field.
Which subatomic particle is gained or lost during friction induction and conduction?
Electrons are the subatomic particles gained or lost during friction induction and conduction. This transfer of electrons is what causes static electricity to build up on objects.
Which subatomic particle causes the masses to be different?
Every subatomic particle has mass, so every particle will cause a slight mass change. However, in an isotope, the mass change between the parent and daughter is caused by a change in the number of neutrons.
Can you explain the behavior of subatomic particles in a magnetic field?
When subatomic particles, like electrons, move through a magnetic field, they experience a force that causes them to curve. This is known as the Lorentz force. The direction of the curve depends on the charge of the particle and the direction of the magnetic field. This behavior is fundamental to understanding how particles interact in magnetic fields and is crucial in various scientific fields, including particle physics and quantum mechanics.
If the isotope bismuth-213 emits an alpha particle two protons and two neutrons which element will be left over?
Lead-209 will be left over after the isotope bismuth-213 undergoes alpha decay, as the emission of an alpha particle causes the atomic number of the element to decrease by 2. Bismuth-213 has an atomic number of 83, so after the emission of an alpha particle (which has an atomic number of 2), the resulting element will have an atomic number of 81, which corresponds to lead.

What causes scientists to realize that there were particles smaller than atoms?
A particle smaller than atom is a subatomic particle, protons , neutrons, and , electrons, the smallest one is an electron, smaller than that are point particles and elementary particles, one elementary particle and point particle is a quark, up quarks down quarks the smallest single thing found so far is a GLUON, which is the force which binds/holds quarks together. Where the devil lives in anti matter there are also atoms and subatomic particles and point particles but just anti, anti- GLUON, anti-QUARK, anti-ATOM, anti-SUBATOMIC PARTICLE. There is something called the string theory, and super string theory that theorizes about bosonic/boson strings but it can not be provine yet, and I think a gluon is still alot smaller than a bosonic/boson string if they are true.

What causes the charges in atomic particles?
arrangement of leptons and quarks in sub atomic particle causes charges in then.
What subatomic particle causes atoms to react?
Electrons cause atoms to react. Atoms react to achieve a filled valence shell, which for most elements is 8, but 2 for hydrogen, lithium, and berylllium, because having 8 valence electrons, or 2 for H, Li, and Be, makes the atoms stable.
