Do nuclear isotopes stop decaying when control rods are down?
No, it is not correct; only a nuclear chain reaction can be stopped with control rods.
How do you keep isotopes from decaying?
A stable isotopes won't decay. But for radioisotopes, it's practically impossible, at least as far as our current knowledge goes. but we do have technology to slow or speed up the process of decay. it happen in the every nuclear reactors. usually through the manipulation of the freed neutrons.
What do radioactive elements gain when they emit radiation?
They become slightly more stable with each decay until they become stable and stop decaying.
Atoms of same chemical element that have different atomic mass are known as?
Isotopes. They differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
What are the names of common isotopes of selenium?
Selenium has six naturally occurring isotopes, five of which are stable: 74Se, 76Se, 77Se, 78Se, and 80Se. The last three also occur as fission products, along with 79Se, which has a half-life of 327,000 years. The final naturally occurring isotope, 82Se, has a very long half-life (~1020 yr, decaying via double beta decay to 82Kr), which, for practical purposes, can be considered to be stable. Twenty-three other unstable isotopes have been characterized

What happened during nuclear decay?
New elements(or isotopes of decaying element) are produced and energy is released
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.
How do you stop apples from decaying?
Put them in water with some lemon juice
What is argon important for?
In packagin crisps to stop oxygen decaying them, and in light bulbs to stop the oxygen eroding the tungsten filament faster.

What is a sentence for decaying?
The decaying leaves created a musty smell in the forest.
What is decaying vegetation?
vegetation that is decaying
How many half-lives would be necessary for a sample of parent isotopes to decay to the point that only one-half of the sample is composed of parent isotopes?
One half life.
How can you stop things from decaying?
don't die and you won't decay. if that falls you can drain them of oxygen and keep them in a cool dry place. your decision
