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?
A positron.
A beta particle may be spontaneously emitted from?
Positrons are emitted from proton-rich radioactive during positive beta-decay.
What atomic particle do a beta particle resembles?
A beta particle is a negative electron. A positive electron is a Positron.
An alpha particle has the same structure as which nucleus?
The radioactive alpha particle has the same structure as the atomic nucleus of helium. They are usually formed and emitted during alpha decay.
How and where are gamma rays produced?
Gamma rays are particularly energetic photons. On Earth, they are emitted from radioactive substances, during radioactive decay and are also created in x-Ray machines. They can also be produced during very energetic events in space, such as the explosion of a star. Cosmic Rays are gamma rays that continually bombard the Earth.
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?
A positron.
What particles has the same mass as an electron but a positive charge and is sometimes emitted from the nucleus during radioactive decay?
Protons are rarely emitted, but a decay mode called positron decay is very common. The positron is the antiparticle of the electron and is exactly the same mass as the electron. It has charge +e.
Gamma rays are emitted by?
they are emitted by radioactivity during radioactive decay.
Gamma rays are emitted by what?
they are emitted by radioactivity during radioactive decay.
Are x-rays emitted during radioactive decay?
Yes they are. Nearly all kinds of electromagnetic radiation are emitted during radioactive decay
A negative charged particle emitted during radioactive decay?
An electron during beta decay.
What happens to the atomic mass number in a radioactive substance?
In a radioactive substance, the atomic mass number may change as a result of radioactive decay. During radioactive decay, radioactive atoms undergo nuclear reactions, which can lead to the emission of radioactive particles such as alpha or beta particles. These emitted particles can cause a change in the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, resulting in a different atomic mass number for the resulting atom or isotope.
A beta particle may be spontaneously emitted from?
Positrons are emitted from proton-rich radioactive during positive beta-decay.
He high energy photon emitted by a nucleus during fission and radioactive decay?
gamma ray
What particle is emitted in beta radiation?
In unstable neuclei where there are 'too many' neutrons, a neutron will convert to a proton and an electron - that electron is ejected from the nucleus and is called a beta particle. It is important that we call this electron a beta particle because it is derived by radioactive disintegration in the nucleus and not an 'orbital' electron.
Can particles leave the atom?
Yes. This process is called radioactive decay. The primary particles emitted are alpha particles, which are helium-4 nuclei, and beta particles, which are electrons.
What does gamma ray use for?
Electromagnetic radiation emitted during radioactive decay and having an extremely short wavelength.
