In the third equation, the oxygen with atomic weight 16 undergo alpha decay and produce C₆¹³ . The alpha particle emitted is also called helium nuclei. During this decay some gamma radiations also produce as a byproduct.
<h3>
What is Nuclear decay reaction ?</h3>
It is also called as radioactive decay during which an unstable nucleus emits radiation and is transformed into the nucleus of one or more other elements.
The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called Helium nuclei.
When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number 4 less than and atomic number 2 less than the starting atom.
Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.
These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.
These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.
These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.
Hence, the oxygen with atomic weight 16 undergo alpha decay and produce C₆¹³ and an alpha particle (He)
