We see that carbon-14 undergoes beta minus decay to become nitrogen-14. Here's the equation: 614C => 714N + e- + ve The carbon-14 nucleus has a neutron within it change into a proton Then we see both a beta minus particle (an electron with high kinetic energy) and an antineutrino ejected from the nucleus.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of decay results in the formation of a different element?
both top and bottomAlpha decay is a kind of radioactive decay in which an alpha particle is emitted from an atom. An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons. Therefore, when an atom of an element undergoes alpha decay, it loses two protons, which changes the atom from one element to another. This is because each different element is identified by the number of protons in its nuclei.or to be more blunt without all the detail radioactive
What does it mean for an isotpe to be radioactive?
An isotope is radioactive if it undergoes spontaneous decay, emitting particles or radiation in the process. This decay results in the transformation of the atomic nucleus into a different element or a different isotope of the same element.
What is a parent and daughter element?
In chemistry, a parent element is a radioactive element that undergoes decay to form a different element known as the daughter element. The parent element gives rise to the daughter element as a result of radioactive decay processes such as alpha decay, beta decay, or electron capture. The daughter element has a different number of protons and atomic number compared to the parent element.
What is the nuclear decay equation for hydrogen-hydrogen?
The only hydrogen isotope that undergoes any type of radioactive decay is tritium (hydrogen-3), it undergoes beta decay to become helium-3. If that's not what you were asking about, I'm confused by your question.
In alpha and beta decay the parent element and the daughter?
In alpha decay, the parent element releases an alpha particle, which is a helium nucleus consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. The daughter element formed has an atomic number 2 less and a mass number 4 less than the parent element. In beta decay, the parent element undergoes a transformation where a neutron is converted into a proton, emitting an electron (beta particle) and an antineutrino. The daughter element formed has an atomic number 1 more than the parent element.
When an atom undergoes radioactive decay does it become a different element?
That depends on the type of decay, alpha and beta decay change the atom into a different element but gamma decay does not.
If seaborgium undergoes alpha decay which element is created?
If seaborgium undergoes alpha decay, it would create rutherfordium as the resulting element.
If chromium undergoes gamma decay what does it become?
If chromium undergoes gamma decay, it remains as chromium. Gamma decay is a type of radioactive decay where a nucleus releases gamma rays to reach a more stable state, but the identity of the element remains the same.
When bismuth-212 undergoes alpha decay, what does it become?
When bismuth-212 undergoes alpha decay, it becomes thallium-208.
What is the lightest element that can undergo radioactive decay and what type of decay occurs in that element?
The lightest "element" that can undergo radioactive decay is the isotope hydrogen-3, which undergoes beta decay. The lightest element with no radioactively stable isotopes is technetium, and its isotopes have different modes of decay.
What happens to a radioisotope when it undergoes decay?
This isotope is transformed in another isotope of another element.
Can an element of the periodic table be changed but not by combining another element?
It is possible if the element undergoes nuclear decay. But this is possible only for unstable isotopes.
When an element undergoes nuclear transmutation the result is a completely different what?
When an element undergoes nuclear transmutation the result is a completely different element or isotope. All transmutation occurs through decay or nuclear reaction.
What does bismuth 210 become when it undergoes alpha decay?
bismuth 210 decays by beta decay to polonium 210 that decays by alpha decay to lead 206
When cesium-137 undergoes beta minus decay what new element is formed?
Cs-137 decays to become the metastable element Ba-137m which has a half-life of only 2 minutes 55 and then it eventually becomes Barium-137. The nucleus undergoes a transition in which one of the neutrons becomes a proton which moves it up on the periodic table one place to become Barium-137. During this process is gives off a photon (gamma) with an energy level of approximately 662 keV.
If The parent element decays by beta decay. Which daughter element will form?
If the parent element undergoes beta decay, it will transform into a daughter element with an atomic number that is one greater than the parent element. This occurs when a neutron in the nucleus is transformed into a proton, releasing an electron (beta particle) and an antineutrino.
What After the nucleus of a radioactive element undergoes the element can transform into?
There are many radio active elements which decay into lighter elements and give off charged particles in the process. The best place to find this voluminous information is in a 'Table of the Nuclides'.
