How is radioactive Isotope different from a stable isotope?

The radioactive isotope is disintegrated in time and emit radiations.


What is a stable isotope?

Stable isotopes are chemical isotopes that are not radioactive, meaning that they do not spontaneously undergo radioactive decay.


What is the breakdown of a radioactive isotope into a stable isotope?

it must eject the extra nucleons and should be conveted into a stable isotope.


What is the stable produced by the radioactive decay of a parent isotope?

daughter isotope


What is the stable isotope that is formed by the breakdown of a radioactive isotope?

That's called a daughter isotope, or a daughter product. (The original isotope that decayed is the parent isotope.)


What is the processes where an unstable parent isotope becomes a stable daughter isotope called?

Succesive radioactive disintegrations in a radioactive series.


If you had a stable element 115 could you then have an isotope of it that would be non-radioactive?

If you had a stable element 115, then by definition there would need to be at least one non-radioactive isotope. Stable elements are those that have at least one nonradioactive isotope. Of course, the other isotopes of the element could all be radioactive.


How many neutrons does Ar element have?

That depends on the isotope, as Argon has three different stable isotopes and many different radioactive isotopes.


Is Cs a radioactive element?

No, it has only one stable isotope.


Is an isotope sodium chloride?

Sodium chloride is a chemical compound not an isotope. But:- natural sodium contain the rare radioactive isotope 22Na and the stable isotope 23Na- natural chlorine contain the rare radioactive isotope 36Cl and the stable isotopes 35Cl and 37Cl


What is the slow breakdown of radioactive substances into more stable elements?

Radioactive elements break down in to stable isotopes through nuclear decay. The list of isotopes from a nuclear isotope to a stable isotope is called its decay chain.


Can a radioactive element completely decay so that it is all stable matter?

A radioactive element (atom) can decay up to a stable isotope.
