What happens to atoms that are radioactive?
Its nucleus emits radioactive particles continuously.
Does Gamma decay emits energy but no particles?
it emits very high energy photons
What effect does losing a gamma ray have on the nucleus?
Nothing, if the nucleus emits a gamma-ray it means something has happened to it already.
Principle of Spontaneous emission and stimulated emission?
How the nucleus emits radiations spontaneously?
When the nucleus boron-10 is bombarded with neutrons it absorbs a neutron and then emits an alpha particle How many protons does the resulting nucleus have?
If boron-10 absorbs a neutron, it becomes boron-11. Boron-11 is stable and does not emit any particles. Please restate the question.
What is the process in which an unstable atomic nucleus emits charged particles or energy or both?
It is the process of Radioactivity.
What is a nucleus that emits energy and particles spontaneously?
Any radioactive element gives off subatomic particles, and these particles carry considerable energy. That is the definition of radioactivity. Examples of radioactive elements include uranium, plutonium, polonium, radium, and many more.
What happens to atoms that are radioactive?
Its nucleus emits radioactive particles continuously.
Uranium emits particles and rays spontaneously through this process?
radioactivity
What is Radioactivity and artificial transmutations?
Radio Activity- The process in which an unstable atomic nucleus emits charged particles and energy Artificial Transmutations- The conversion of atoms of one element to atoms of another.
What it means when an element is radioactive?
Radioactive elements have unstable nucleii. When an unstable nucleus decays it emits energy in the form of electromagnetic waves and heavy particles and in the process forms new nucleii.
When nucleus emits beta particles the parent and daughter nuclei are what isobars or nuclear isomers or istones?
These atoms are isobars.
What does the process in which an unstable atomic nucleus emits charged particles or energy or both?
In the process of radioactive decay an unstable atomic nucleus emits energy to get closer to a state of stability. Whether this energy is emitted in particles, electromagnetic radiation, or both depends on which decay paths are available to the nucleus and which decay paths are forbidden to the nucleus by Quantum Mechanics.Some of the decay processes are:alpha - energy is released in the momentum of the ejected alpha particle (helium nucleus)beta - energy is released in the momentum of the ejected electron or positron (and the hard to detect neutrino)gamma - energy is released as electromagnetic radiation (gamma ray photon)spontaneous fission - energy is released in the momentum of the ejected fission product atoms and the ejected neutrons
What features of radioactive elements make them behave the way they do?
They have a heavy nucleus. Hence it is unstable. Hence it emits radiation in the form of alpha and beta particles to form lighter elements. After emitting these particles, it is in an exited state. It emits gamma radiation to return to its ground state
What happens to a radioactive nucleus when it emits alpha particle and What happens to a radioactive nucleus when it emits alpha particle?
dude..
What happens when strong forces are not sufficient enough to hold an unstable nuclei together?
Such an element is radioactive and to stabilised itself its nucleus emits the alpha and beta particles along with gamma rays till it is converted into a stable nucleus.
What is meant by a radioactive element?
A radioactive element is an element that readily undergoes nuclear decay - the nucleus spontaneously emits subatomic particles as the element changes into another element.
