In this nuclear reaction, the total number of neutrons emitted would depend on the specific reaction and energy of the collision. However, typically when a californium-249 nucleus is bombarded by a carbon-12 nucleus to produce a Rf nucleus, several neutrons are emitted in the process. The exact number of neutrons emitted can vary.

When potassium-39 is bombarded by neutrons chlorine-36 is produced what other particles are emitted?
An Alpha particle
What emitted particles maintain a nuclear chain reaction?
In most cases neutrons are emitted and capable of maintaining a nuclear chain reaction
What particle is emitted when Pu 240 decays to U 236?
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 atoms of beryllium are bombarded with alpha particles an atom of carbon is produced and a neutron is emitted What kind of nuclear reaction occurred?
Nuclear Fission. The Nucleus of the Atom has been split apart.
A atom with a altered number of neutrons?
An atom with an altered number of neutrons is called an isotope. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that contain different numbers of neutrons, resulting in variations in atomic mass. Isotopes of an element will have similar chemical properties but may differ in stability and nuclear characteristics.

Can californium pass through solids?
Not californium, but neutrons emitted by californium.

What is an particible?
A Helium atom, containing two proton and two neutrons, that is emitted as a form of radiation.
What is an alpha partical?
A Helium atom, containing two proton and two neutrons, that is emitted as a form of radiation.
When aluminum-27 is bombarded with a neutron a gamma ray is emitted What radioactive isotope is produced?
Aluminum-27 + n -> Aluminum-28 + gamma raywith a 2.3 minute half life Aluminum-28 -> beta- + Silicon-28Silicon-28 is stable.You have now transmuted one stable element to another.

What does uranium emits while it breaks down?
Fission fragments, neutrons, gamma radiations; and all the radiations emitted by these fission fragments.
How do scientist use isotopes in treating cancer?
Radiations (alpha, beta, gamma, neutrons) emitted by radioisotopes can destroy cancer cells.
What kind of radiation is only emitted during detonation?
detonation of an atomic bomb? I believe it is gamma radiation.Fallout emits large amounts of gamma.It is neutrons.
