1
Q
Nuclear equations:
A
used to represent decay
2
Q
What does beta decay cause?
A
- beta decay does not cause the mass of the nucleus to change but does cause the charge of the nucleus to increase
- beta decay does not cause the mass number of an atom to change as beta decay is when an electron is ejected from an atom at high speed due to a neutron turning into a proton and electron
3
Q
What does the emission of a gamma ray cause?
A
emission of a gamma ray does not cause the mass or the charge of the nucleus to change
4
Q
What may the emission of the different types of nuclear radiation cause?
A
may cause a change in mass and/or the change of the nucleus
5
Q
What does alpha decay cause?
A
alpha decay causes both the mass and charge of the nucleus to decrease
