How many different elements appear in the uranium-238 decay series?

20 isotopes


What are the elements of radioactivity?

Some of the elements on the Periodic Table are Radioactive. This means that their nuclei decay to form other elements in a decay chain. There are currently 33 known radioactive elements of which 20 are currently produced synthetically.


Which are unstable elements that decay or break down into different elements?

Radioactive


When elements such as uranium and plutonium decay do they form different elements chemical reactions or larger compounds?

When an element "decays", it forms a different element. This is the definition of "decay" when referring to radioactive elements.

What does gold decay?

Which isotope are you talking about? When talking about nuclear decay, you should not only distinguish different elements, but also different isotopes.


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 one element change into a different element?

Yes, but only if it is radioactive. Radioactive elements change into different elements through radioactive decay.


Which elements can become stable by losing one elements?

An chemical element cannot loss a chemical element. Probable you think to the last member of a radioactive decay chain.


What is important of decay chain in isotopes?

In nuclear science, the decay chain refers to the radioactive decay of different discrete radioactive decay products as a chained series of transformations. Most radioactive elements do not decay directly to a stable state, but rather undergo a series of decays until eventually a stable isotope is reached.Decay stages are referred to by their relationship to previous or subsequent stages. A parent isotope is one that undergoes decay to form a daughter isotope. The daughter isotope may be stable or it may decay to form a daughter isotope of its own. The daughter of a daughter isotope is sometimes called a granddaughter isotope.


Are all elements periodically change to become new element s?

No. Only radioactive elements, which undergo radioactive decay can change to different elements.
