#1. What changes take place in the nucleus when an alpha particle is emitted? Mass # goes down 4, protons go down 2, Neutrons go down 2
#2. What is the identity (symbol) of an alpha particle? What element is it? Helium!
#3. What changes take place in the nucleus when a beta particle is emitted? 1 less neutron, 1 more proton
#4. Which particle is associated with beta decay? An electron!
#5. When an alpha particle is lost from an atom, where on the periodic table would you look to find the product? Atomic # = # of protons
#7. Does the identity of the atom change during radioactive decay? Why or why not? Yes, because the number of protons changes.
#8. If an atom of element # 85, astatine, undergoes alpha decay, what atom will be produced? Bismuth (Bi) 206 α 4 Bi 210 At + 2 83 85
#9. If an atom of element number 87, francium, undergoes beta decay, what atom will be produced? Radium (Ra) 0 223 223 Fr β Ra + 88 87 -1
#10. What are some characteristics of isotopes that are likely to decay? The have more than 83 protons and they fall on the edge of the band of stability.
