What is an unstable isotope?
Unstable isotopes are radioactive isotopes, can disintegrate and emit radiations.
When an isotope is blank it is radioactive?
When an isotope is unstable, it is said to be radioactive.
An unstable isotope with extra energy in the nucleus?
A radio-isotope.
When a unstable isotope decays the daughter isotope that result is always a stable isotope true or false?
false
What is the difference between a stable isotope and a unstable isotope?
A stable isotope does not decay and therefore, maintains a constant concentration on Earth. An unstable isotope, also known as a radioactive isotope, decays at a predictable and measurable rate on Earth. An unstable isotope may decay by the ejection of an electron or positron, known as beta decay, or by the ejection of two protons and two neutrons, known as alpha decay.

What is another term for an atom that is unstable?
isotope
What do isotope and half life have in common?
Each (unstable) isotope has a distinctive half-life.
Is it true that a stable radioactive isotope called the parent will decay and form daughter products?
1. All the radioactive isotopes are unstable ! 2. Yes, it is true, the parent isotope (radioactive and unstable) decay and form daughter products.
What is isotope and radio isotope?
Isotopes are atoms of a particular element with different numbers of neutrons. A radio isotope is an isotope that is radioactive because the nucleus is unstable.
What is a dacay chain?
When a radioactive isotope decays, it may convert to another isotope which is, again, unstable. The "decay chain" refers to the complete list of all the intermediate products, until a stable isotope is reached.
Is carbon 13 unstable?
No, it is a natural stable isotope.
Hydrogen has how many unstable isotopes?
Hydrogen has 1 unstable isotope, and 2 stable isotopes.
