What is the effect of beta decay on the composition of a nucleus?
Commonly the parent nuclide decays by the beta emission. In addition to that; inside the nuclei decay chain will consistently have half-lives!
Radioactive elements comprise a majority?
Yes. Stable elements are 83 elements. all elements above that of atomic number 83 (Bismuth) are radioactive. Radioactive isotopes are of the order of 1500 radioactive isotope.
One element that is always radioactive and has an atomic number less than 50?
Technetium
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)
When an alpha particle is emitted the atomic increases by what?
The emission of an alpha particle (which is a Helium nucleus) from a radioactive nuclide would decrease its atomic number (z) by two, and its mass number by 4. So for example, Plutonium-239 (z=94) would emit the alpha particle and jump back down the table to Uranium-235 (z=92). It is possible to go up the table (increase atomic number) through certain beta decays.
How do you determine the number of protons in a nuclide?
The number of protons in a nuclide is the atomic number for that element on the periodic table.
What is a nuclide symbol?
A nuclide is an atomic species, having a defined number of protons, neutrons and also electrons on the orbit.
How are the atomic number and mass number of a nuclide affected by the emisson of gramma radiation?
Any change of the atomic number.
What is the nucleus of an isotope with a certain atomic mass and number?
Nuclide
What is the approximate atomic mass of a nuclide of phosphorus that an atomic number of 15 and that has 16 neutrons?
The atomic mass of phosphorous-31 is 30,97376163(20).
What atomic number is 84?
Po is a radioactive element.It has the 84 atomic number.
What is a slogan for molybdenum?
radioactive, artificial, metal, atomic number 101
What is the atomic number and mass number of radioactive nitrogen?
sixteen
If Phosphorous has an atomic mass of 30 and atomic number of 15 how many neutrons does it have?
Atomic mass is equal to the number of protons + neutrons present in the nuclide. The atomic number is defined as the number of protons in the nuclide. Therefore to find the number of neutrons use the formula: atomic mass = #protons + # neutrons solving for # of neutrons you get: # neutrons = atomic mass - # protons plug in the given values: #neutrons = 31 - 15 # neutrons = 16
What is the atomic number of radioactive nitrogen?
Nitrogen is a non metal element. Atomic number of it is 7.
What is the superscript and subscript of the nuclide of hafnium that contains 107 neutrons?
The superscript is the mass number (179); the subscript is the atomic number (72).
Do radioactive elements differ in atomic number?
yes
