Depends on what type of radioactive decay you are talking about. Beta decay (electron or positron) will have a charge, while alpha decay will not. Beta decay can either be positron decay or electron decay. Positron will result in the parent to have the same atomic mass but a different atomic number. The atomic number will be one less than that of the parent. Meaning one proton will decay into a neutron and a positron, which is a positively charged particle. Electron decay results in the parent gaining a proton while the Atomic Mass stays the same. A neutron decays into a proton and an electron and the electron is emitted with a negative charge. Alpha decay, however, results in the emission of a neutral helium particle. Gamma decay results in the same parent with no loss of charge or atomic number and gives off a high energy photon called a gamma particle.
What else can I help you with?
What radioactive emanations have a charge of - 1?
Beta particle electrons (as opposed to Beta particle positrons which have + charge)
what represents a gamma emissions?
Gamma emissions are a type of high-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted from a radioactive nucleus during radioactive decay. They have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency of all types of radiation, and they can penetrate matter more effectively than alpha or beta radiation. Gamma emissions are often associated with the release of excess energy from an unstable nucleus as it transitions to a more stable state.
What are the particles emitted during radioactive decay with their mass and charge?
alpha: mass 4, charge +2beta: mass ~1/1800, charge -1gamma: mass 0, charge 0
Are gamma rays emitted by radioactive elements?
Yes, gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation emitted by radioactive elements during radioactive decay processes. They are high-energy photons with no mass or charge, and can penetrate through materials easily.
Which of the following particles has the same mass as an electron but a positive charge and is sometimes emitted from the nucleus during radioactive decay?
The particle that has the same mass as an electron (9.11 x 10^-31 kg) but a positive charge and is sometimes emitted from the nucleus during radioactive decay is a positron. A positron is the antimatter counterpart to an electron and has a charge of +1.
What radioactive emissions are not particles?
Gamma rays.
Which radioactive emissions is not a particle Alpha Neutron or Gamma?
Gamma.
What are the radioactive emissions that have the greatest penetrating power?
Gamma rays
Where in the atom do radioactive emissions originate?
They originate in the nucleus of the atom.
What is the name for the emission of rays and particles by a radioactive material?
The name for the emissions of rays and particles by a radioactive material are called radioactive decay. There are many different types of radioactive decay that emit different rays and particles.
What radioactive emissions are not a particle Neutron Alpha Proton Beta Gamma Ray?
Gamma Ray
What cause radiation?
The acceleration of a charge. its radioactive decay
What radioactive emanations have a charge of - 1?
Beta particle electrons (as opposed to Beta particle positrons which have + charge)
What radioactive emanations have a charge 2 plus?
Alpha Particles
What is nuclei that has unstable decay known as?
Atomic nuclei that are unstable and decaying are said to be radioactive. Radioactive decay involves alpha, beta and gamma particle emissions.
Why does radioactive source give out radiation?
Radioactive decay happens when an unstable atom cannot hold itself together, and pieces of it fly out. The pieces include the emissions we call radiation.
Is a proton a radioactive emission?
Oh honey, a proton is about as radioactive as a teddy bear. Protons are stable particles found in the nucleus of an atom, not some wild emission causing havoc. So, no need to worry about those little guys causing any radioactive chaos.
