Why alpha emission occur first?
The question is unclear. First before what? More likely to occur? I am going to assume the latter... Alpha decay is more likely to occur, when both alpha and beta are possible, because alpha decay removes more binding energy from the nuclide, and the tendency is to reduce energy as quickly as possible.
Order gamma decay beta decay and alpha deacy form weakest to strongest?
gamma decay beta decay alpha decay
What is the equation for the alpha decay of uranium -237?
The equation for the alpha decay of 233Pu:94233Pu --> 92229U + 24He2+where the alpha particle is represented as a helium nucleus.Note that 233Pu decays by alpha decay with a probability of only 0.12%. The other 99.88% is Beta+ decay.
Why can't tritium decay with the loss of an alpha particle?
Tritium, 13H, cannot decay by alpha decay because it only has one proton, and an alpha particle has two protons, along with its two neutrons. The lightest nuclide capable of alpha decay is lithium-5, 35Li, decaying by alpha decay to ordinary hydrogen, 11H. 13H decays by beta- decay to 23He, a rare form of helium, which is then stable.
What is the equation Bismuth-210 to Lead-206 decay?
Lead-210 decays by alpha or beta decay. The equation for the alpha decay of 210Pb is: 82210Pb --> 80206Hg + 24He representing the alpha particle as a helium nucleus. The equation for the beta decay of 210Pb is: 82210Pb --> 83210Bi + -10e where the -10e is an electron.
What does ununhexium decay into?
The decay products of ununhexium (after alpha decay) are isotopes of ununquadium.
What are the products of radioactive decay?
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
What are the three products of radioactivity decay?
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
How do you accelerate alpha decay?
not possible
When one neptunium isotope undergoes an alpha decay what does it become?
Npn decays to Pan-4 and alpha. Only isotopes 234, 235, and 237 of neptunium can undergo alpha decay, the others decay by beta-, beta+, K capture, and/or gamma decay. So the only products of neptunium alpha decay can be protactinium isotopes 230, 231, or 233.
What three products of radioactive decay?
alpha particles, beta particles, gamma radiation
Three products of radioactive decay from most penetrating to least?
Gamma Beta Alpha

Is alpha decay the same as alpha radiation?
No. Decay is the process, radiation is the product.
What type of radiation is emitted by thorium?
Thorium-232 is an alpha emitter; rarely decay by spontaneous fission or double beta decay are possible.
What is the type of radioactive decay in which positive particles are given off?
It's called alpha-decay. The two protons and two neutrons are removed in the form of alpha particles, or helium nuclei.
