Which daughter element is produced from the alpha decay of americium 241?
The alpha decay of americium-241 produce neptunium-237.
When curium-242 is bombarded with alpha particles a neutron and are formed?
The nuclear reaction is: 242Cm + 4He = 245Cf + n
Is nuclear radiation friend or foe?
Nuclear radiation can be both friend and foe. It is used in various medical applications, such as cancer treatment and diagnostic imaging. On the other hand, exposure to high levels of nuclear radiation can be harmful and have detrimental effects on human health and the environment, as seen in nuclear accidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima.
What kind of radiation is emitted when polonium decays to astatine?
Polonium, which has an atomic number of 84, decays to astatine, which has an atomic number of 85, a negative beta particle is emitted.
Why does the nucleus have an envelop around it what are the principal roles of nucleus?
The main mass of the atom is concentrated in its nucleus which is positively charged (for having protons). For the atom to be neutral, the nucleus is surrounded by negatively charged electrons (envelop) where their total negative charge equals the total positive charge of the nucleus.
The nucleus has the following main roles:
What are the effects of a antimatter plus matter explosion in vacuum?
Exactly the same as outside, but the debris would travel farther because there is no resistance in the vacuum. Outside the vacuum the explosion would happen instantaneously once the anti-particles collided with oxygen.
A boson responsible for carrying the weak nuclear force (responsible for beta decay). There are three different kinds W-, Z0, and W+ all rather heavy and acting only over short ranges.
Is The neutron the most important part of the atom in forming compounds?
nope, electron. nothing in the nucleus participates in chemistry.
What particle alpha or beta is more massive?
An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Beta particles are fast moving electrons that are emitted from a nucleus when a neutron decays into a proton and an electron.
Since 1 electron has 1/1837 the mass of a proton, the alpha particle is roughly 7348 times the mass of the electron.
Could the atomic bomb exist without radioactivity?
No, the atomic bomb relies on the process of nuclear fission, which produces radioactivity as a byproduct. Radioactivity is essential for the explosive power of the bomb.
A mixture of down and up quarks and antiquarks. D-antiD, D-antiU, U-antiD, or U-antiU.
Offer a rationalization why the Bjerrum length is inversely porportional to temperature?
The Bjerrum length is the separation distance at which the potential electric energy of two elementary charges is equal to kB*T.
The electric potential energy of two elementary charges is inversely proportional to their separation distance.
Since kB*T is trivially proportional to temperature T, at a higher temperature you need to place two elementary charges closer to each other to get the electric potential energy equal to kB*T.
As the separation distance between those charges is defined as the Bjerrum length, the Bjerrum length is inversely proportional to temperature.
It is mean as total colour that is red + green + blue = white (quantum number in physics) it is singlet. (Actually, since mesons have only two quark components, they're all quark-antiquark pairs and they're color + anticolor rather than red + green + blue.)
Why U 235 is fissioned by thermal neutron while U 238 by a fast neutron?
It's to do with the capture cross-section of the nucleus. It just happens that the U-235 nucleus has a much larger cross-section for neutron capture when the neutrons are slow, and that the subsequent nucleus is unstable and splits into two parts. With U-238, it does not undergo fission at all, it just absorbs the fast neutron and transmutes to Pu-239.
As to the fundamental reason for this, it is in the complex nuclear physics field of study
What is the Higgs boson accelerator?
It isn't. The Large Hadron Collider is a proton-accelerator & collider designed to investigate the most fundamental sub-atomic particles and forces, and to try to prove or disprove the existence & properties of the hypothesised Higgs Boson, though to be responsible for mass.
From what I have read so far, there is a chemical in The works called hydrochloric acid which reacts to aluminum, smoke, and heat.
What is the nuclear equation radionclide X decays by alpha emission into radium-224?
Alpha emission means that an alpha particle (2 protons + 2 neutrons) are emitted, so the original nucleus has 2 protons and 2 neutrons more.
Alpha particle is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, i.e., two protons and two neutrons bound together. If an atom emits an alpha particle, it will have two protons less, and two neutrons less. Over time, there may be additional decay, which may further change the number of protons and neutrons.
What is the difference between a beta plus particle and a beta minus particle?
The difference between a beta plus and beta minus particle is the electrical charge. The charges are equal, but opposite. The beta minus particle is an electron with a negative charge, while the beta plus particle is an anti-electron or positron with a positive charge.
What is the nuclear equation of americium?
The nuclear reactions are:
Pu-239(2n, gamma)Pu-241(beta)Am-241
Is the Higgs boson on the periodic table?
No. The periodic table contains the elements, which are made of atoms. The Higgs boson is a much smaller particle than an atom.
Yes, but it was a theoretical element until recently when its presence was proved. The Higgs Boson is a subatomic particle that apparently weighs 130 times as much as an atom of hydrogen, the lightest gas.
Does the strong nuclear force have charges like the electromagnetic force does?
No. The strong nuclear force works through the exchange of a subatomic particle called a meson. Additionally, the strong nuclear force has to hold protons and neutrons together in the nucleus, so having a charge would have no effect on the neutrons.
