What element is formed when 60CO emits a beta particle?
When 60Co decays by beta- decay it produces 60Ni.
What happens to thorium when it emits an alpha particle?
Alpha emission means a He (A=4, Z=2) core is released along with energy. Helium's atomic number is 2 and the atomic mass is 4. So when Thorium (A=x, Z=90) emits an alpha particle it becomes a Radium (A=x-4, Z=88). By the way: Thorium is very vague when it comes to nuclear physics. It's important to state the atomic mass of the atom. There exist many forms of each element, called isotopes.
When a Uranium 238 emits an alpha particle the nucleus left behind has how many protons?
When a Uranium-238 emits an alpha particle, it loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons. The resulting nucleus, Thorium-234, has 90 protons.
When radium emits an alpha particle the resulting nucleus has atomic number?
The result is radon, atomic number 86. 226Ra - alpha particle = 222Rn (radon, a radioactive gas)
To what does plutonium-239 decay when it loses an alpha particle?
Yes, plutonium-239 emits alpha particles by decay.
What element does californium make when it emits an alpha particle?
When californium emits an alpha particle, it creates curium.
What is lost from the nucleus of atom when it emits an alpha particle?
When an atom emits an alpha particle, it loses two protons and two neutrons from its nucleus. This results in a new element being formed with an atomic number that is two less than the original element.
What element does thorium-230 decay when it emits an alpha particle?
Thorium-230 decays into radium-226 when it emits an alpha particle.
What element does thorium become if it emits an alpha particle?
The nuclear reaction is: 232Th--------------- 228Ra + α
What happens to the atomic number of an element if it emits 1 alpha particle and 1 beta particles?
It drops 2
How can you use the parent element to determine the daughter element in alpha decay?
In alpha decay, the parent element (nucleus) emits an alpha particle consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. The daughter element is formed by subtracting the alpha particle from the parent element's atomic number and mass number. The daughter element is often located two positions to the left on the periodic table compared to the parent element.
What happens to the number of protons when U-238 emits an alpha particle?
When U-238 emits an alpha particle, it loses two protons. This results in the atom transforming into a different element (Th-234) which has two fewer protons in the nucleus.
What element is formed when 60CO emits a beta particle?
When 60Co decays by beta- decay it produces 60Ni.
What results in radioactive decay causes loss of one or more protons?
a new element is formed
If Th-234 emits an alpha particle what nucleus is formed?
When Th-234 (thorium-234) emits an alpha particle, it loses two protons and two neutrons. This results in the formation of U-230 (uranium-230) as the new nucleus. The alpha decay process can be represented by the equation: Th-234 → U-230 + α.
If the isotope bismuth-213 emits an alpha particle two protons and two neutrons which element will be left over?
Lead-209 will be left over after the isotope bismuth-213 undergoes alpha decay, as the emission of an alpha particle causes the atomic number of the element to decrease by 2. Bismuth-213 has an atomic number of 83, so after the emission of an alpha particle (which has an atomic number of 2), the resulting element will have an atomic number of 81, which corresponds to lead.
What isotope is formed when uranium 235 emits an alpha particle?
You get this answer by performing the following: Mass # Mass # 4 Atomic # Parent symbol -> Atomic # Daughter symbol + 2 He 238 234 4 92 U -> 90 Th + 2 He Both sides must equal the same thing, so if you figure out what plus 4 = 238 and what plus 2 = 92, you can figure out the element is formed through decay. The resulting element in this case is Thorium.
