What happens when an unstable nucleus undergoes radioactive decay?
Particles or electromagnetic radiation are emitted.
Nuclear radiation refers to charged particles or energy emitted by an unstable what?
Nucleus
What is emitted from the nucleus during beta decay?
During beta decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, releasing an electron (beta particle) and an antineutrino from the nucleus. The beta particle is emitted as the neutron decays into a proton, increasing the atomic number of the nucleus.
Why gamma radiation emitted in nucleus?
Gamma radiation is emitted by the nucleus when it transitions to a lower-energy state following an alpha or beta decay process. This high-energy electromagnetic radiation helps stabilize the nucleus by releasing excess energy and reaching a more stable configuration.
What is shot at isotope's nucleus to trigger nuclear chain reaction?
Neutrons are typically shot at an isotope's nucleus to trigger a nuclear chain reaction. When a neutron collides with a nucleus, it can cause the nucleus to split, releasing more neutrons that can trigger additional fission reactions in nearby nuclei, leading to a chain reaction.
The atomic number of carbon is 6 the atomic number of nitrogen is 7 the atomic number of oxygen is 8 name the isotope represented by the drawing?
The isotope represented by the drawing is Carbon-13. This isotope has 6 protons and 7 neutrons in its nucleus, giving it a total atomic mass of 13.
What happens when an unstable nucleus undergoes radioactive decay?
Particles or electromagnetic radiation are emitted.
A change in the atomic nucleus is?
Decaying.
Are x-rays emitted during radioactive decay?
Yes they are. Nearly all kinds of electromagnetic radiation are emitted during radioactive decay
How many neutrons are in the nucleus of this isotope of rhodium Rh-104?
There are 59 neutrons in the nucleus of rhodium's isotope Rh-104.
A beta particle is formed in the nucleus of an isotope due to the?
transformation of a neutron into a proton, an electron (beta particle), and an antineutrino. This process is known as beta decay and occurs in isotopes with an excess of neutrons compared to protons, seeking to attain a more stable ratio of protons to neutrons.
How is isotope produced?
An isotope can be produced if a nucleus gains a neutron or if one of the protons in its nucleus decays into a neutron and positron.
How many neutrons are emitted when a californium-249 nucleus is bombarded with carbon-12 nucleus to produce a Rf nucleus?
In this nuclear reaction, the total number of neutrons emitted would depend on the specific reaction and energy of the collision. However, typically when a californium-249 nucleus is bombarded by a carbon-12 nucleus to produce a Rf nucleus, several neutrons are emitted in the process. The exact number of neutrons emitted can vary.
Is isotope often termed as an atom's outer shell?
No, never. An isotope has to do with the nucleus of the atom.
In alpha decay is the atomic number of the daughter nucleus equal to the atomic number of the isotope undergoing decay?
No, in alpha decay the atomic number of the daughter nucleus is decreased by 2 and the mass number is decreased by 4 compared to the isotope undergoing decay. This is because an alpha particle (helium nucleus) is emitted during alpha decay, resulting in a new daughter nucleus with a lower atomic and mass number.
What is the nucleus of fermium?
The nucleus of fermium contain 100 protons.For each isotope the number of neutrons is different.Number of neutrons = Mass number of an isotope - 100
What type of particle is emitted when a U-235 decays to Np-235?
It is negative beta particle emitted by a uranium nucleus and converting it to neptunium nucleus.
