beta emission
No, thorium emitting a beta particle is a nuclear reaction, not a chemical reaction. In a beta decay process, a neutron in the thorium nucleus converts into a proton, emitting a beta particle (an electron) and an antineutrino. This type of decay is a form of radioactive decay, which is a nuclear process involving changes in the nucleus of an atom.
The rate of decay of a radioactive element is measured by its half-life, which is the time it takes for half of a sample of the element to decay. This measurement is used to determine the stability or instability of the element and to predict its rate of decay over time.
This is an example of beta decay, specifically beta-minus decay. In this reaction, a neutron in the nucleus is transformed into a proton, electron, and anti-neutrino. This results in the formation of 90Zr from 90Y.
No, radioactive decay is not a chemical reaction. Radioactive decay is a type of change in the nucleus of an atom that results from instability in that nucleus. And that is a nuclear reaction rather than a chemical one.
Radioactive balance refers to the state where the rate of decay of a radioactive substance is equal to the rate of production of new radioactive atoms, resulting in a constant level of radioactivity. This equilibrium occurs when the production and decay rates reach a balanced state.
Radioactive reaction is a red-ox reaction. This is a nuclear decay.
yes
No. It is a nuclear reaction - radioactive disintegration.
The process of decay with carbon 13 can be described by a nuclear reaction.
This is because only one isotope decay.
Nuclear energy is either:fission reaction, orfusion reaction, orradioactive decay
nuclear decay rates take more time and chemical reaction rates could happen fast.
Nuclear decay rates do not vary with the conditions of the change; they are constant for a given isotope. On the other hand, chemical reaction rates can vary with conditions such as temperature, pressure, and the presence of catalysts.
The balance nuclear equation for the alpha decay of ^251No (Nobelium-251) is: [ ^{251}{102}No \rightarrow ^{247}{100}Fm + ^{4}_{2}\alpha ] In this equation, Nobelium-251 decays into Californium-247 while emitting an alpha particle ((^4_2\alpha)). The mass and atomic numbers are conserved in the reaction.
it decays because the oxygen reaches it and it has a reaction.
No, thorium emitting a beta particle is a nuclear reaction, not a chemical reaction.

This type of decay is a form of radioactive decay, which is a nuclear process involving changes in the nucleus of an atom.
When a neutron -> proton, it is called a Beta - (minus) decay.
