The particles released during alpha decay are called alpha particles. Alpha particles have greater mass and charge than other emitted particles.

  • Radioactive emissions are the transfer of energy through the flow of particles or waves in a medium
  • There are 3 types of radioactive emissions which are alpha, beta and gamma
  • In alpha radiation, the nucleus emits an alpha particle which is equivalent to a helium nucleus
  • In beta radiation, an electron is emitted to convert a neutron to a proton
  • In gamma radiation, the nucleus just loses energy

Since alpha particles have more mass and charge, they are more ionising and lose more energy at a faster rate and can be blocked easily.

What is cardiovascular eficiencia
Minchanka [31]
English: Cardiovascular efficiency depends on a number of factors. One measure is called stroke volume, which is the volume of blood pumped per heartbeat. A fit individual has a larger stroke volume, which means a greater volume of oxygen is delivered to the body per heartbeat.

Spanish: La eficacia cardiovascular depende de una serie de factores. Una medida se denomina volumen sistólico, que es el volumen de sangre bombeada por latidos cardíacos. Un individuo en forma tiene un volumen de movimiento mayor, lo que significa que un mayor volumen de oxígeno es entregado al cuerpo por latidos cardíacos.
