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! |

10 of 15 A radioisotope captures an electron. That means it emits a gamma particle it becomes a different element a neutron changes into a proton it emits a beta particle
6. Heavy charged particles are a) Alpha and beta particles b) Any particle heavier than an electron c) Charged particles heavier than an electron d) Positively charged particles heavier than a proton 7. Heavy charged particles interact through (select the best answer) a) many coulomb interactions each transferring a small fraction of the kinetic energy from the particle to target material b) a handful of coulomb collisions transferring a large fraction of their kinetic energy to the electrons in the...
24. Suppose you are given two radioactive sources. you are told one source emits a ray of alpha particles and the other source emits a ray of beta particles. You have paper, aluminum foil, thin pieces of wood, and a Geiger counter. Design an experiment to determine which source is the alpha-emitter and which is the beta-emitter. Be sure to list your IV, DV, treatments, and constants. 24. Suppose you are given two radioactive sources. you are told one source...

Assuming that each atom that decays emits one alpha particle, how many alpha particles are emitted per minute by a 0.00304-g sample of 226Ra that is free from its decay products? The half-life of 226Ra is 1.60×103 y and the mass of a 226Ra atom is 226.025 u.
A linear particle accelerator using beta particles collides electrons with their anti-matter counterparts, positrons. The accelerated electron hits the stationary position with a velocity of 90 x 106 m/s, causing the two particles to annihilate. If two gamma photons are created as a result, calculate the energy of each of these two photons, giving your answer in MeV (mega electron volts), accurate to 1 decimal place. Take the mass of the electron to be 5.486 x 10-4 u, or 9.109...
Two particles, alpha and beta, with the same speed enter a region with a uniform magnetic field is directed either into the page or out of the page and perpendicular to their velocities (in the figures, the magnetic field is zero in the unshaded region and non-zero in the shaded region). The particles have the same magnitude charge but different masses. Particle alpha is negative; particle beta is positive. The particle's trajectories are shown below: Which of the following statements...

A physicist has developed a device that generates a beam of alpha particles (each of which is a helium nucleus, consisting of two protons, two neutrons, and no electrons). The device ejects a steady stream of 6440 alpha particles per second. You are testing different shielding materials for a test chamber that will house the alpha particle generator. You prepare a sheet of one potential material in an electrically neutral state, mount it on a perfectly insulating stand, and fire...
