The given isotope of Neptunium is ^{237} _{93} Np

Alpha decay of an isotope results in daughter nuclide with mass number less by 4 units and atomic number less by 2 units than the parent isotope.

Alpha decay of Neptunium-237 can be represented as:

^{237} _{93} Np-->^{233}_{91} Pa+^{4} _{2} He

Beta decay of the above formed protactinium nuclide can be represented as:

^{233}_{91}Pa-->^{233} _{92} U+^{0}_{-1}e

Gamma decay releases only energy in the form of gamma rays, the nuclide remains the same.

^{233}_{92}U-->^{233}_{92}U+γ

The new atom formed after the given decays is ^{233}_{92}U

What causes pressure inside a helium balloon?
kupik [55]

Explanation:

So the gas pressure of a helium balloon arises from the impact of the collisions of the helium atoms between themselves and with the inside surface of the balloon. Of course, the outside atmosphere similarly exerts a pressure on the outside of the balloon.
