Predict the missing particle or nuclide. 239 Np -> 239 Pu + ?
93 94
Select one:
a. alpha emission
b. beta migus emission
c. positron emission

beta minus emission

Explanation:

Beta radiations:

Beta radiations are result from the beta decay in which electron is ejected. The neutron inside of the nucleus converted into the proton an thus emit the electron which is called β particle.

The mass of beta particle is smaller than the alpha particles.

They can travel in air in few meter distance.

These radiations can penetrate into the human skin.

The sheet of aluminum is used to block the beta radiation

²³⁹₉₃Np→ ²³⁹₉₄Pu + ⁰₋₁e

The beta radiations are emitted in this reaction. The one electron is ejected and neutron is converted into proton.

electron microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopes gives us a greater understanding of atoms by being able to see the atom itself, and lets us see some atomic reactions.

explanation:

they are made of gases.

they have a spherical shape.

they make energy through fusion.
