When an isotope is blank it does not undergo radioactive decay?
when an isotope is it does not undergo radioactive decay
Why does radon undergo radioactive decay?
No stable isotopes.
What must occur before a radioactive atoms ceases to undergo further radioactive decay?
A stable, nonradioactive atom must be formed.
What is it called when an isotope does not undergo radioactive decay?
friends are like seashells you collect on the way
What force will undergo radioactive decay?
Forces do not decay.However the forces responsible for radioactive decay are: Strong - alpha & gamma, Weak - beta.The electromagnetic and gravitational forces do not participate in radioactivity at all.
When an isotope is blank it does not undergo radioactive decay?
when an isotope is it does not undergo radioactive decay
What is it called when atoms are unstable and undergo a nuclear decay?
radioactive decay
Why does radon undergo radioactive decay?
No stable isotopes.
What is the lightest element that can undergo radioactive decay and what type of decay occurs in that element?
The lightest "element" that can undergo radioactive decay is the isotope hydrogen-3, which undergoes beta decay. The lightest element with no radioactively stable isotopes is technetium, and its isotopes have different modes of decay.
Why does thorium undergo radioactive decay?
The ratio neutrons/protons in radioactive isotopes is the cause of their innstability.
What must occur before a radioactive atoms ceases to undergo further radioactive decay?
A stable, nonradioactive atom must be formed.

Is xenon radioactve?
Some isotopes of xenon do undergo radioactive decay to caesium.
Why do some isotopes of elements spontaneously undergo radioactive decay?
Nuclei undergo radioactive decay in order to release some of the "stress" in the atom. At a certain point, the nucleus of an atom gets too large to sustain all of those protons and neutrons. When the "stress" is relieved, a phenomenon called radioactive decay occurs.
Will unstable nuclei all undergo radioactive decay in order to gain stability?
Yes

What is an atom stable?
An atom is stable if it does not undergo decay.
