What else can I help you with?
What consists of high-energy waves and always accompalnies alpha and beta decay?
Gamma rays consist of high-energy waves and always accompany alpha and beta decay processes. They are electromagnetic radiation emitted from the nucleus of an atom during radioactive decay to achieve a more stable state.
Order gamma decay beta decay and alpha deacy form weakest to strongest?
From weakest to strongest decay, the order is: Gamma decay - involves the emission of high-energy photons. Beta decay - involves the emission of beta particles (electrons or positrons). Alpha decay - involves the emission of alpha particles (helium nuclei).
In alpha and beta decay the parent elements is always a different element from the daughter element?
true
What is the charge of the emitted particle in alpha decay?
In alpha decay, the emitted particle has a charge of 2.
What are the possible products of the alpha decay of uranium-238?
The possible products of the alpha decay of uranium-238 are thorium-234 and helium-4. During alpha decay, the uranium nucleus releases an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms into thorium-234.
What do unstable isotopes become when they decay?
Unstable isotopes become more stable isotopes or different elements when they decay through processes such as alpha or beta decay. The decay results in the emission of radiation in the form of alpha or beta particles and gamma rays.
What consists of high-energy waves and always accompalnies alpha and beta decay?
Gamma rays consist of high-energy waves and always accompany alpha and beta decay processes. They are electromagnetic radiation emitted from the nucleus of an atom during radioactive decay to achieve a more stable state.
Is alpha decay the same as alpha radiation?
No. Decay is the process, radiation is the product.
Does alpha decay always decreases the number of protons by an even number?
Yes, an alpha radiation particle is 2 protons and 2 neutrons so for every alpha particle emitted the radioactive nuclide loses 2 protons.
Order gamma decay beta decay and alpha deacy form weakest to strongest?
From weakest to strongest decay, the order is: Gamma decay - involves the emission of high-energy photons. Beta decay - involves the emission of beta particles (electrons or positrons). Alpha decay - involves the emission of alpha particles (helium nuclei).
What is the type of radioactive decay in which positive particles are given off?
Alpha decay is the type of radioactive decay in which positive particles, specifically alpha particles, are emitted. These alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together, giving them a positive charge.
In alpha and beta decay the parent elements is always a different element from the daughter element?
true
What type of decay is 235 92U---4 2 He plus 231 90Th?
The type of decay for this process is alpha decay. In alpha decay, a heavy nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium-4 nucleus) to transform into a new element with a lower atomic number.
Alpha and beta decay emit what?
Alpha decay emits an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons. Beta decay emits either an electron (beta minus decay) or a positron (beta plus decay).
What is the heaviest of the forms of radioactive decay is?
I'm pretty sure its alpha.
What is the charge of the emitted particle in alpha decay?
In alpha decay, the emitted particle has a charge of 2.
What is the nuclear equation for the decay of radium 226?
The equation for the alpha decay of 226Ra: 88226Ra --> 86222Rn + 24He The alpha particle is represented as a helium (He) nucleus.
