What type of radiation has the least ability to penetrate matter?
The Least penetrating form of radiation is Alpha as it only travels 10cm in air and is stopped by paper. Alpha is also the most ionising, Beta is less ionising still and Gamma is the least ionising as photons carry no charge so they have less effect.
Describe what happens to the proton number and the mass number when an alpha particle is emitted by a nucleus?
Proton number is decreased by two while mass number is decreased by four. Since alpha particle is similiar to helium nucleus.
Why is it eaier to fission uranium 235 with neutrons than alpha particles?
A neutron is smaller and has no charge, so it is able to penetrate to the nucleus far better than an alpha particle (which is larger in size, and has a charge that is repelled by the nucleus). So the neutron is more able to cause critical instability and fission the nucleus.
How did Rutherford explain the results of his gold foil experiment?
Rutherford made the following conclusions:Since most of the alpha particles passed straight through the gold foil without any deflection, most of the space within the atoms is empty.Since some of the alpha particles (which are big in size) were deflected by large angles or bounced backwards, they must have approached some positively charged region responsible for the deflection. This positively charged region is now called the nucleus.As very few alpha particles undergone the deflection, it was concluded that the volume occupied by the central region ( nucleus ) is very small.Since alpha particles which are relatively denser, were deflected by the central volume of charge, it shows that almost the complete mass of the atom must be within the central volume.
What type of radiation alpha beta or gamma is emitted by thorium-230?
alpha particles.
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 at the alpha kappa alpha rush?
Attend the rush and you will find out.
What is the critical z value of a two-tailed test with alpha 0.005?
-2.58,2.58
What did Rutherford call the region that deflected the alpha particles?
Nucleus.
How do you perform a Statistical Hypothesis Testing?
To start with you select your hypothesis and its opposite: the null and alternative hypotheses. You select a confidence level (alpha %), which is the probability that your testing procedure rejects the null hypothesis when, if fact, it is true.Next you select a test statistic and calculate its probability distribution under the two hypotheses. You then find the possible values of the test statistic which, if the null hypothesis were true, would only occur alpha % of the times. This is called the critical region.Carry out the trial and collect data. Calculate the value of the test statistic. If it lies in the critical region then you reject the null hypothesis and go with the alternative hypothesis. If the test statistic does not lie in the critical region then you have no evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
What happens when beta decay occurs?
Alpha rot follows.
What happens when plutonium is frozed?
Formation of the allotrope alpha of plutonium.
What has the author Barbara Allen Pattee written?
Barbara Allen Pattee has written: 'Correlation of increased alpha wave index with increased theta wave index'
What type of damage can alpha particles do to the body?
If Alpha Particles are inhaled, ingested (swallowed), or absorbed into the blood stream, alpha radiation is exposed to sensitive living tissue. The biological damage results in the increased chances of cancer, particularly lung cancer which is caused when alpha emitters are inhaled.
Is the nucleus a very small region of the atom?
Yes. It was shown by Rutherford's alpha scattering experiment.
What happens when uranium gives off an alpha particle?
An isotope of thorium is obtained.
What happens at the end of Alpha and Omega?
at the end they howl at the full moon to say that they are married
