Does alpha radiation results in the emission of electrons?

No, alpha radiation does not result in the emission of electrons. It involves the emission of alpha particles, which are helium nuclei consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.


What nuclear emissions that identical to a helium atom?

This is alpha radiation (alpha particles).


Which type of radiation is simialar to a helium atom?

I believe that is called "Alpha Emission".


Which of the following is not a type of nuclear radiation alpha particles beta particles neutron emission x rays?

X-rays are not a type of nuclear radiation. They are a type of electromagnetic radiation.


If a helium ion is emmited during the disintegration of a nucleus what kind of decay is this called?

Nuclear emission of a helium ion is called alpha decay.


Are all the radiations are electro magnetic radiations?

No, not all radiation is electromagnetic radiation, though some is. Exceptions: Neutron radiation - Emission of neutrons. Alpha decay - Emission of a helium-4 nucleus (2 protons and 2 neutrons). Beta radiation - Emission of electrons.


What kind of particles are equivalent to helium nuclei and are the most ionizing form of nuclear radiation?

An alpha particle


Which type of nuclear substance is a helium nucleus?

The alpha particle has a composition identical to a helium nucleus, specifically, the nucleus of helium-4. The alpha particle, however, is a product of radioactive decay, and is usually moving pretty fast. When we speak of helium nuclei, we are usually speaking of things that are much less energetic.


What type of energy does the element radium contains?

Radium primarily emits alpha particles, which are a type of nuclear radiation. This emission of alpha particles generates energy in the form of ionizing radiation.


How different alpha and beta radiation from gamma rays?

I'm not sure there are quantifiers for "difference", but "completely" comes close. Alpha and beta radiation is (massive) particle based, gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation ... technically this is a particle (photons), but photons have zero invariant mass. Alpha radiation is a helium nucleus on the run. Beta radiation is an electron on the run. Gamma radiation is a very high energy "light" ray (electromagnetic radiation).


Does beta radiation have a helium nuleus?

A stream of helium nuclei is alpha radiation. Beta radiation is a stream of electrons.


What are the 3types of radation?

The three main types of radiation are alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Alpha radiation consists of helium nuclei, beta radiation involves electrons or positrons, and gamma radiation is electromagnetic radiation. Each type has different properties and levels of penetration.
