An alpha particle is
A. a helium nuclei. |
B. any positively charged nucleus. |
C. an X-ray. |
D. None of the above. |
an alpha particle is a positively charged particle with charge equal to that of 2 protons and mass nearly equal to 4 protons
a helium atom has 2 protons and 2 nuetrons in the nucleus and 2 electrons revolving around the nucleus.
when a helium atom is doubly ionized i.e., the 2 electrons are removed, it is left with the 2 potons and 2 neutrons
as we know the mass of proton and nuetron is nearly the same, we represent an alpha particle with the nucleus of a helium
so the correct option is A
An alpha particle is A. a helium nuclei. B. any positively charged nucleus. C. an X-ray....

A uranium-238 nucleus at rest undergoes radioactive decay, splitting into an alpha particle (helium nucleus) with mass 6.64×10-27 kg and a thorium nucleus with mass 3.89×10-25 kg. The measured kinetic energy of the alpha particle is 4.49×10-13 J. After the decay, what is the magnitude of the momentum of the thorium nucleus? Incorrect. Tries 1/20 Previous Tries After the decay, what is the kinetic energy of the thorium nucleus? 7.664×10-15 J You are correct. Your receipt no. is 158-4017
An alpha particle is a nucleus of helium. It has twice the charge and four times the mass of the proton. When they were very far away from each other, but headed toward directly each other, a proton and an alpha particle each had an initial speed of 8.2×10−3 c, where c is the speed of light. What is their distance of closest approach? There are two conserved quantities. Make use of both of them. (c = 3.00 × 108...
Problem 10.23 An alpha particle (a helium nucleus, containing 2 protons and 2 neutrons) starts out with kinetic energy of 9.9 MeV (9.9 x 100 eV), and heads in the +x direction straight toward a gold nucleus (containing 79 protons and 118 neutrons). The particles are initially far apart, and the gold nucleus is initially at rest. Answer the following questions about the collision. What is the initial momentum of the alpha particle? (You may assume its speed is small...
