After the nucleus break down, the atoms become smaller in some way. The remaining atom may be radioactive or it can also be balanced. The end result during the disintegration may be known depends on the process of how it disintegrates.

How much does an atom's mass change when it emits gamma radiation?

An atom's mass does not change when it emits gamma radiation. Gamma radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation with no mass or charge, so the total mass of the atom remains constant. The energy and momentum carried by the gamma radiation may cause the atom to recoil, but the mass of the atom itself does not change.


When an atom emits a beta particle the number of nucleons?

In this case the atomic number is increased with one.


What is the first atom bomb called?

The first nuclear explosive tested was code named Gadget. July 16, 1945.The first nuclear bomb dropped was code named Little Boy. August 6, 1945.It remains unknown when the first atom bomb was created.


How in law of conservation of charge the total charge on an isolated system remains constant and give with an example?

According to the law of conservation of charge, the total charge in an isolated system remains constant. A simple example: when a magnesium atom loses two electrons to an oxygen atom the ions have charges of 2+ and 2- respectively. The total charge is zero before and after ionization.


How can you prove that you can destroy an atom?

Atomic bombs create such a powerful explosion because it is started by an atom splitting open, releasing its energy and splitting other atoms, which split other atoms and so on and so on. There are some labs that have a very complex machine that can split atoms and see what's inside. Obviously, you can't do this at home, but it is possible to split an atom.

What determent's an atoms identity?

An atom's identity is determined by the number of protons in its nucleus, which is called its atomic number. This number determines the element to which the atom belongs. Electrons can be gained or lost to form ions, but as long as the number of protons remains the same, the atom's identity remains unchanged.
