How do you solve these equations?
Tell me the equations first.
How do you solve multivariable equations?
You need as many equations as you have variables.
How do you solve 3 dimensional equations?
You can solve the system of equations with three variables using the substitute method, or using matrix operations.
Why do you need to be able to solve equations?
If you don't learn to solve equations then guess and check is the only way to arrive at new information.
Solve linear equations with complex coefficients on both sides?
You would solve them in exactly the same way as you would solve linear equations with real coefficients. Whether you use substitution or elimination for pairs of equations, or matrix algebra for systems of equations depends on your requirements. But the methods remain the same.
What does the e represent in beta decay equations?
In beta decay equations, e- refers to an electron (in beta-), and e+ refers to a positron (in beta+).Not asked, but answered for completeness, ve refers to the electron neutrino that accompanies the positron, and v-e refers to the electron antineutrino that accompanies the electron.
What is lost in an atom as a result of radioactive decay What equations relates this loss to energy produced?
Alpha decay is the loss of 2 protons and 2 neutrons Beta-decay is the loss of a positron or electron Gamma decay is the loss of a photon The equation relates this loss to energy produced E=mc^2
What is a balanced equation for positron decay of Mercury 188?
The equation for the positive beta decay of 188Hg is: 80188Hg --> 79188Au + 10e where e indicates a positron or positive beta particle.
What is the symbol for a positron?
A positron is the antiparticle of the electron. We write the electron as e- as it is negatively charged. We write e+ or β+ for the positron. The latter symbol uses the Greek letter beta as positron emission is one of the two forms of the radioactive decay known as beta decay. Links can be found below.
What is the kind of decay that occurs when a nucleus releases a positron?
There is technically no such thing as positron decay. It's a misnomer. The nuclear decay process wherein a positron is emitted from a decaying nucleus is called positron emission or beta plus decay. A link is provided below that question and its answer.
The emission of a positron also results in the creation of?
If you are talking about beta+ decay, then the emission of a positron is accompanied with the emission of an electron neutrino.
What decay decreases atomic mass by 1?
Beta with a decay of a positron (as opposed to the more common electron).
What is the nuclear decay equation for iridium 174?
There are two ways 174Ir can decay, alpha and positive beta, so there are two different equations. The equation for the alpha decay of 174Ir is: 77174Ir --> 75170Re + 24He representing the alpha particle as a helium nucleus. The equation for the beta+ decay of 174Ir is: 77174Ir --> 76174Os + 10e + ve wher 10e represents a positive beta particle or positron.

What happens to an atom that experiences radioactive decay?
It loses mass.
Do radioactive emissions have a charge?
Depends on what type of radioactive decay you are talking about. Beta decay (electron or positron) will have a charge, while alpha decay will not. Beta decay can either be positron decay or electron decay. Positron will result in the parent to have the same atomic mass but a different atomic number. The atomic number will be one less than that of the parent. Meaning one proton will decay into a neutron and a positron, which is a positively charged particle. Electron decay results in the parent gaining a proton while the atomic mass stays the same. A neutron decays into a proton and an electron and the electron is emitted with a negative charge. Alpha decay, however, results in the emission of a neutral helium particle. Gamma decay results in the same parent with no loss of charge or atomic number and gives off a high energy photon called a gamma particle.
What is the nuclear decay equation for potassium 40?
There are three beta decay modes for 40K, and so three equations. The equation for the negative beta decay of 40K: 1940K --> 2040Ca + -10e where the -10e represents a beta particle or electron. The equation for the positive beta decay of 40K: 1940K --> 1840Ar+ 10e where the 10e represents a positive beta particle or positron. The equation for the decay of 40K by electron capture is:1940K + -10e --> 1840Ar + ve
