Any particular decay process is associated with a change from one energy state to another, so its emitted particles will have a specific energy. Charts of the nuclides will give this energy for any particular decay event. See also the extract from Wikipedia article on 'Radioactivity', below. You can view the whole article on the link attached.

'Radioactive decay results in a reduction of summed rest mass, which is converted to energy (the disintegration energy) according to the formula E = mc2. This energy is released as kinetic energy of the emitted particles. The energy remains associated with a measure of mass of the decay system invariant mass, inasmuch the kinetic energy of emitted particles contributes also to the total invariant mass of systems. Thus, the sum of rest masses of particles is not conserved in decay, but the system mass or system invariant mass (as also system total energy) is conserved.'

What particles in the nucleus are neutral?

the particles in the nucleus are Neutrons


Why can't neutrons have the same particles as the nucleus?

Neutrons have zero charge. The nucleus has positive charge. Therefore, since the charge is different, they must not be made of the same particles.


What particles are at the center of an atom?

Atoms contain three different sub-atomic particles. Protons, which are particles with a positive charge, and neutrons, particles with a neutral charge are found in the nucleus at the center of the atom. Surrounding the nucleus are electrons, particles that have negative charge.


Which does a nucleus of an atom contain?

a nucleus theoretically contains protones and neutrons but practically 33 different types of particles have discovered from nuclei of atoms , the modern research proved that the fundamental particles in nucleus are quarks and all other particles in nucleus are combination of 2 or 3 quarks the combination of 5 quarks is also possible.


How the tree particles are arranged inside atoms?

The particles inside an atom, namely protons, neutrons, and electrons, are not arranged in a specific manner like the branches of a tree. Instead, they occupy different regions of the atom based on their relative energies. The protons and neutrons are located in the central nucleus, while the electrons exist in specific energy levels or orbitals surrounding the nucleus, forming a cloud-like structure.


What particles in the nucleus of the atom?

The particles in the nucleus of an atom are the protonsand the neutrons. We call particles that make up the atomic nucleus nucleons, and this word is just a way to say "the particles that make up an atom's nucleus" in an abbreviated manner.


What are particles in the nucleus called?

The two types of particles in the nucleus are called protons and neutrons.


What keeps particles in nucleus together?

Strong force keeps particles in a nucleus together.


What particles are not in the nucleus?

Electrons are not part of the nucleus.


Which particles are located in a nucleus?

Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus.


Would there be a stronger gravitational force acting among the particles of a helium nucleus or the particles of a uranium nucleus Explain?

Neither, the strength of the gravitational force between the subatomic particles inside nuclei is negligible compared to the strength of both the weak nuclear force or the strong nuclear force between the same subatomic particles inside those nuclei.


What two particles are found in the nucleus?

The neutral particles found in the nucleus on an atom are called neutrons. Positive particles found in the nucleus are protons.
