When a radioisotope captures an electron, the atomic number of radioisotope will change.
This is because electron has charge of -1.
So, atomic number of radioisotope will decrease by 1.
So, it becomes a different atom
Answer: option 2
10 of 15 A radioisotope captures an electron. That means it emits a gamma particle it...
A radioisotope emits an alpha particle. That also means that it: emits two beta particles emits two positrons captures two electrons loses two electrons ----------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for any answers/explanations!
1.) In a nuclear equation, a neutron can spontaneously change into a(n) alpha particle positron and electron beta particle and proton gamma particle 2.)Identify the following substances involved in radioactive reactions, describing how you obtained the answer: a.An element which undergoes alpha decay to form lead-208 b. The product of the alpha decay of radium-226 c.The product of beta decay of iodine-131
A 14C nucleus, initially at rest, emits a beta particle. The beta particle is an electron with 133 keV of kinetic energy. Part A What is the speed of the beta particle? v v = nothing c SubmitRequest Answer Part B What is the momentum of the beta particle? p p = nothing kg⋅m/s SubmitRequest Answer Part C What is the momentum of the nucleus after it emits the beta particle? p p = nothing kg⋅m/s SubmitRequest Answer Part D...
gamma -rays are generated when An electron is knocked out of its orbit by a photon with high energy The nucleus undergoes a change in its energy state. A neutron is com energy into a proton. At alpha-particle b emitted. An. X-ray interacts with an electron.
Select every statement that is true about radioactivity (more than one may be selected): a. Gamma decay is a helium nucleus being emitted from the nucleus of a larger atom. b. Beta decay is a neutron in the nucleus of an atom splitting into a proton, which stays in the nucleus, and an electron, which is ejected. c. The products of a decay reaction are often themselves radioactive. d. Different isotopes of the same element often react differently in radioactive...
2. Which particle has the same mass as an electron, but a positive electric charge A. Alpha particle B. Gamma photon AMMANT AHGIA C. Proton D. Positron AA
at is decays by electron capture. The product of this reaction undergoes alpha decay. What the product of this second decay reaction? a m b c c. Ar d. Ca e. Sc Al (n.? Na? 26. what is the eected particle in the nuclear transmutation a. a neutron b. a proton c. an alpha particle d. a beta particle e. a gamma photon 27 Boron-10 was bombarded with neutrons. Each 19B nucleus was struck by one neutron and emitted one...
thank u so much! 6. One form of nuclear radiation, beta decay, occurs when a neutron changes into a proton, an electron, and a neutral particle called an antineutrino: n → pt + e + De, where ve is the symbol for an antineutrino. When this change happens to a neutron within the nucleus of an atom, the proton remains behind in the nucleus while the electron and neutrino are ejected from the nucleus. The ejected electron is called a...
need help with this. thanks Please answer the following questions by replying: 1. Why is it that during alpha emission, the atomic number decreases by two, and the mass number decreases by four? In your answer you should consider what an alpha particle is. 2. In beta emission, the atom loses an electron, yet the atomic number increase by one and the mass number stays the same. How is this possible? It may help if you consider what happens to...
