What else can I help you with?
Are all nuclides are radioactive?
No. Some are stable.
Which series consist of radioactive nuclides produced by successive radioactive decay until a stable nuclides is reached?
Decay series
How many stable nuclides exist for elements that have and atomic number above 83?
All isotopes of all elements with atomic number similar or greater than 84 are radioactive, and don't have stable nuclei.
What would you call a series of radioactive nuclides produced by radioactive decay until a stable nuclide is reached?
Decay Series
Which statement is true about half-lives?
A. Different atoms of the same nuclide have different half-lives.B. each radioactive nuclide has its own half-life.C. All radioactive nuclides of an element have the same half-life.D. All radioactive nuclides have the same half-life.
When radioactive decays stop?
It will stop when there is nothing left to decay. There is basically no way to stop certain nuclides (isotopes) from decaying.
Do all elements have half life's?
Yes. From a technical point of view, all elements have isotopes (nuclides) that are radioactive and therefore have half-lives. But the majority of these are artificial - man made, and do not occur in nature on Earth. Even hydrogen has nuclides of deuterium and tritium, deuterium is stable and natural, and tritium has a half life of 12.33 years. Having said that, there are a number of nuclides that are stable and occur naturally.
What is a heavy nuclides?
Heavy nuclides are atoms that have a high atomic number and are typically found in the lower region of the periodic table, such as elements like lead, uranium, and thorium. These nuclides often have a high mass and can be unstable, leading to radioactive decay.
What do radioactive nuclides cause molecules in the air to do?
Radioactive nuclides can ionize molecules in the air, breaking chemical bonds and creating free radicals. This ionization may lead to the formation of reactive species that can participate in chemical reactions, potentially altering the composition of the atmosphere and affecting health and the environment.
What are artificial radioactive nuclides produced by?
Artificial radioactive nuclides are typically produced through processes like nuclear fission reactions in nuclear reactors or particle accelerators bombarding target atoms with high-energy particles. These processes can introduce additional neutrons or protons into the nucleus, leading to the creation of new, unstable isotopes.
All radioactive nuclides of an element have the same half life?
No, halflife is a bulk statistical property of a quantity of an isotope of an element.Individual nuclei do not have halflives, instead they have a probability of decaying at the current moment of time.
Which statement is true about half-lives a Different atoms of the same element have different half-lives. b Each radioactive isotope has its own half-life. c All radioactive nuclides of an element?
The correct answer is: Half-lives are not affected by temperature.
