    Are the number of electrons on both sides of the radioactive decay balanced?

    i joined in this forum hoping that you guys might clear my doubt

    Are the number of electrons on both sides of the radioactive decay balanced?

    I'm also asking the same question - Where did these 2 electrons go? And if the emitted alpha particle captures these extra electrons, it must get neutralized before it comes out of the atom. So we should have detected uncharged radiations only. but we detect positvely charged radiations only...

    sorry I'm not able to understand your question

    Are the number of electrons on both sides of the radioactive decay balanced?

    We know that the alpha particle comes from the nucleus of the parent atom. so the daughter must have 4 nucleons (2 protons and 2 neutrons) lesser than the parent. but the alpha particle does not contain any electron. so the daughter must have the same number of electrons which the parent had...

    Are the number of electrons on both sides of the radioactive decay balanced?

    because there are z electrons before the emission but there are only z-2 electrons after the emission

    Are the number of electrons on both sides of the radioactive decay balanced?

    Homework Statement Are the number of electrons on both sides of the radioactive decay balanced? Homework Equations For example, consider an alpha decay. ZPA → Z-2DA-4 + 2He4 For P, Number of Neutrons = A - Z Number of Protons = Z Number of Electrons = Z For D, Number of Neutrons = [A - 4] - [Z...
