Radiations Flashcards
what are alpha particals
a stream of positivly charged particles
how many protons and neutrons are there
2 p
2 n
like a helium nucleaus
what is alpha’s form in a equation
4 He
2
example questions for alpha …..
210 Po ——/ 4 He + 206 Pb
84 2 82
you takeaway 4 with mass and 2 with atomic no.
what is the form in a equation for neutrons
1 n
0
what is the form in a equation for protons
1 p
1
what is the form in a equation for electron
0 e
-1
what is the form in a equation for sodium 24
24 Na
11
what is beta
fast moving electrons ejected from the nucleaus
when is beta formed
when a netron turns to a proton and electron
1 n ——/ 1 p + 0 e
0 1 -1
examples for beta
234 Pa ———/ 0 e + 234 U
91 -1 92
what is gamma rays
very high energy radiation waves
does gamma affect the atomic no. or the mass
no
what does gamma emisisons happen with
alpha and beta
