When the nucleus boron-10 is bombarded with neutrons it absorbs a neutron and then emits an alpha particle How many protons does the resulting nucleus have?
The resulting nucleus has 6 protons. Boron-10 has 5 protons, and absorbing a neutron increases the atomic number by 1 to become carbon-11, which has 6 protons. The emission of an alpha particle (helium nucleus with 2 protons) leaves behind a nucleus with 6 protons.
When the nuclei of heavy atoms with many protons are split this process is called?
Generally this is called nuclear fission. In the special case where one of the new particles produced is a Helium-4 nucleus (2 protons, 2 neutrons) the process is radioactive decay and specifically alpha emission. (The He-4 nucleus is called an alpha particle, as it was the first such particle recognized. A beta particle is an electron emitted from the nucleus with the conversion of a neutron to a proton = beta emission.)
How do alpha particles beta particles and gamma rays originate in the nucleus of the atom?
A beta particle is created when a neutron inside an unstable nucleus changes into a proton (or vice versa), losing energy and mass in the form of an electron (or positron), which is the beta particle.
How did Albert Einstein come up with the theory to split the atom?
I'm not sure how he thought it up exactly, but this is how I see it. The atom has electrons spinning around it which have a negative charge. In the tightly packed nucleus are neutrons with no charge and protons with a positive charge. Einstein knew that inside the nucleus are large amounts of energy waiting to be released. An earlier genius, Newton, theorized the 4 forces, 2 of which the strong and weak force located inside the nucleus of an atom. Einstein also developed his famous equation E=mc2 as well as other equations. When the atom is split the strong and weak force and large amounts of explosive energy is released, but how could it be done? You could do this by shooting a particle at an extremely high speed at the nucleus. At the time, atoms, electrons, neutrons, protons, and photons were the only known particles. Uranium has a large nucleus and is very unstable. You can't shoot an electron at it because it is too small and it would retract from the opposing electrons negative charge. You can't shoot a proton at it because it would retract from the opposing protons. If you shot a neutron at it it would go straight to the nucleus with no interference because it has no charge. When uranium is split two new atoms are formed and two neutrons are released. They will split two neighboring uranium atoms and now you have an out of control nuclear or atom explosion. More and more energy is released until the uranium is depleted.

What is the negatively charged particle in in atom?
Electron. It revolves the nucleus containing protons and neutrons and is the basic reason behind chemical reactions.According to the simplest Bohr model of the atom, the basic negatively charged particle is the electron.Electrons

What is the key reason behind radioactive decay?
E = mC squared The mass energy equation (Einstein' derivation) applied to sub atomic particles which shed protons to attain a more stable electrovalence leads to the energy associated with that bond being released Alpha particles ,beta particles or gamma particles Americium-241--->neptunium -237 + Alpha particle (Helium Nucleus)
Does a nucleon has the least mass in the nucleus of uranium?
Nucleons are protons and neutrons; the have a mass near 1. But nucleons contain quarks and gluons. I've been trying to work backward from the question to determine what you were really trying to ask, and I think it may have been something along the lines of "does uranium have the greatest mass deficit per nucleon"? In which case the answer is no. An isotope of nickel holds that position, with two iron isotopes close behind. Uranium is not even a contender; there actually aren't many elements that don't have at least one isotope that has a higher binding energy than any uranium isotope.

What is Rutherfords model of the atom?
the nuclear model was its name. the theory behind this model is that 99.99% of the atom is empty space.the nucleus is what that is tiny and the most dense positive core.The nucleus contains protons. the nucleus is what weight the most in the atom
Why are neutrons the glue that holds the nucleus together?
It would be better to say that neutrons do participate in the binding force that holds nuclei together, but do not alone act as the glue. Both protons and neutrons are attracted and bound in nuclei by the nuclear force. The strong force itself, a fundamental force in physics behind this short-distance attraction between nucleons, is actually mediated by another particle - the gluon.
