If all you ever do is smoke bong hits, try using vaporizers, extracts, tinctures, or marijuana edibles (otherwise known as medibles). Vary how, when and with what you dose yourself. Vaporizers open up a whole new world of marijuana effects that you canât get when smoking whole marijuana. Care for your brain.
What happens when an atom emits an alpha particle or beta particle? alpha: 2 protons & 2 neutrons leave nucleus as a helium nucleus. This results in the atomic mass decreasing by 4 units and the atomic number decreasing by 2 units.
An alpha-particle decay. In alpha decay, shown in Fig. 3-3, the nucleus emits a 4He nucleus, an alpha particle. Alpha decay occurs most often in massive nuclei that have too large a proton to neutron ratio. An alpha particle, with its two protons and two neutrons, is a very stable configuration of particles. Alpha radiation reduces the ratio of protons to neutrons in the parent nucleus, bringing it to a more stable configuration.
