When Gallium-75 (Ga-75) decays to Germanium-75 (Ge-75), it undergoes beta decay, where a neutron in the Ga-75 nucleus is converted into a proton, emitting a beta particle (an electron) and an antineutrino. This process increases the atomic number of the element from 31 (Gallium) to 32 (Germanium), while the mass number remains the same. The emitted beta particle is the key particle released during this decay process.
Curie: A unit of radioactivity equal to 3.7 � 10^10 Disintegrations (decays) per second.
It will take 25.0898 minutes, approx.
The decay rate N at time t is N(t)=N(0) x 2^-(t/t_half), where t_half is the half life and N(0) is the decay rate at t=0. The ^ means "to the power of."You can solve this for t_half:t_half = - t / log_2(N(t)/N(0)) (log_2 means logarithm base 2)N(350 minutes)=1250, N(0)=8540. The rest is just finding a calculator to give you log_2 of 1250/8540.
An alpha particle is emitted when Pu-240 decays to U-236. It consists of two protons and two neutrons and is commonly emitted in alpha decay processes.

When P-32 decays to S-32, a beta particle is emitted. This beta particle is an electron released during the conversion of a neutron into a proton within the nucleus of the atom.
It is negative beta particle emitted by a uranium nucleus and converting it to neptunium nucleus.
Polonium, which has an atomic number of 84, decays to astatine, which has an atomic number of 85, a negative beta particle is emitted.
An Alpha particle, and associated gamma radiation from the excited nucleus.
When an atom of 85Kr spontaneously decays, it emits a beta particle. This decay process involves the transformation of a neutron into a proton, with the emission of an electron and an antineutrino.
It is the reverse: Np-235 decay to U-235 by electron capture.
An alpha particle is emitted when Pt-190 decays to Os-186. An alpha particle has a mass number of 4, and an atomic number of 2. When Pt-190 decays to Os-186, the mass number drops by 4, showing that an alpha particle is emitted, along with energy. The other form of particle that could be emitted is a beta particle, which has a mass number of 0. The difference between 190 and 186 is 4, thus showing the emission of an alpha particle.

Potassium-40 decays by emitting a beta particle, which is an electron. This decay process transforms potassium-40 into calcium-40.
When Na-20 decays to Ne-20, it emits a beta-minus particle, which is essentially an electron. This is because in beta-minus decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, releasing an electron and an antineutrino.
240Pu decays to 236U by emitting an alpha particle. You can tell this by looking at the difference in atomic mass. 240 minus 236 is 4, and that is the mass of an alpha particle. You can also tell this by looking at a chart of the nuclides. See the related link below for an example from Brookhaven National Laboratories.
