What else can I help you with?
Which naturally occurring radioactive particle is the largest?
Alpha particles are the same size as a helium nucleus and are made up of 2 protons and two neutrons. They have no electrons so an alpha particle has a +2 charge
What is the new chemical identity of the radium atom after it has emitted an alpha particle?
The naturally occurring isotope of radium we encounter is radium-226. It appears in the decay chain of uranium. When radium-226 undergoes alpha decay, radon-222 is the result. The equation looks like this: 88226Ra => 24He + 86222Rn The 24He is the alpha particle, which is a helium nucleus.
Which type of radioactive decay produces a helium atom?
Helium has two naturally occurring isotopes, 3He and 4He. Both are stable, so helium does not undergo decay in nature. Several synthetic isotopes exist. 5He is highly unstable and decays to 4He by emitting a neutron. 6He undergoes negative beta decay, producing 6Li. It has the longest half-life of any radioactive helium isotope, at 0.808 seconds. 7He is highly unstable and decays to 6He by emitting a neutron. 8He undergoes negative beta decay, followed immediately by emitting of a neutron, producing 7Li. Its half-life is 0.122 seconds. 9He is highly unstable and decays to 8He by emitting a neutron. 10He is highly unstable and decays to 9He by emitting a neutron.
What is emitted when potassium -40 decays?
Potassium-40 decays by emitting a beta particle, which is an electron. This decay process transforms potassium-40 into calcium-40.
Could a particle accelerator collider blow up the world?
No, a particle accelerator collider cannot blow up the world. The energy levels in particle accelerators are not high enough to cause such catastrophic events. Safety measures are in place to prevent any such disasters from occurring.
Which naturally occurring radioactive particle is the largest?
Alpha particles are the same size as a helium nucleus and are made up of 2 protons and two neutrons. They have no electrons so an alpha particle has a +2 charge
Why do we say that some elements aren't naturally occurring?
Some elements are not naturally occurring because they are created in laboratories through nuclear reactions or particle accelerators. These synthetic elements do not have stable isotopes and decay rapidly, making them difficult to find in nature. Examples include elements beyond uranium on the periodic table.
When an iodine 131 atom decays by emitting a beta particle and a gamma particle it forms?
When an iodine-131 atom decays by emitting a beta particle and a gamma particle, it forms xenon-131. The beta particle is an electron, while the gamma particle is a high-energy photon. This decay process helps iodine-131 become a stable element, xenon-131.

The naturally occurring isotope of radium we encounter is radium-226. It appears in the decay chain of uranium. When radium-226 undergoes alpha decay, radon-222 is the result. The equation looks like this: 88226Ra => 24He + 86222Rn The 24He is the alpha particle, which is a helium nucleus.
When radium-226 (atomic number 88) decays by emitting an alpha particle it becomes .?

What is the naturally occurring circular piece of DNA called?
The naturally occurring circular piece of DNA is called a plasmid. It is found in bacteria and is separate from the bacterial chromosome. Plasmids can replicate independently and often carry genes that provide advantages, such as antibiotic resistance.
What part of the chemical name thorium nitrate is particle emitting radioactive?
Thorium is a radioactive metal.
Which inert gas is radioactive?
Radon is the only naturally occurring radioactive inert gas. Its most stable isotope, radon-222, decays through alpha particle emission. It is produced as a decay product of uranium and thorium in the Earth's crust.
What particle is given off during the change from protactinium to uranium?
Protactinium-233 is transformed in uranium-233 emitting beta radiation.
Does the isotope occur naturally or is it man-made?
Francium occurs naturally, although extremely rare. It can and is made in labs. Although it is considered a naturally occurring element, there is only about one ounce of it in the Earth's crust at any one time. Scientists reproduce it in labs so they can study it, ect. So little is known about Francium now; if we didn't reproduce it in labs we would know next to nothing about it.
What is the other product of this decomposition when Plutonium-238 decomposes by emitting a particle?
Plutonium 238 is an alpha emitter; the decay product is uranium 234.
What does emissions mean?
it means like cars and etc....... To make it more clear, it's the act of throwing something out. Emitting can refer to Science a lot of the time, such as the emission of an alpha particle from a nucleus or the sun emitting heat and light. As for cars, pollution is being emitted in the air.
