Uranium slowly decay or dissolve to form?
Uranium slowly decay to form the stable nucleus of Lead after a series of nuclear reactions.
Does an atom become most stable when trying to fill its nucleus?
It becomes most stable when its nucleus is filled, not when it is filling it.
When does Uranium-235 become unstable?
Uranium 235 is unstable because it is a radioactive isotope. This means that it is constantly decaying and emitting radiation. The reason it is unstable is because it has too many neutrons in its nucleus. The neutron is a unstable particle, and when there are too many of them in one place, they can cause problems. When uranium 235 decays, it emits alpha particles, which are high-energy particles that can damage DNA and cause cancer.
Does uranium not have a stable isotope?
Uranium hasn't stable isotopes.
What is the stable nucleus produced at the end of the decay steps in a uranium decay series?
Thorium, radium, radon, polonium, thallium, etc.
What is the process that allows the nucleus of Radium to become stable?
Nuclear decay.
What would happened to a stable nucleus in which the number of neutrons suddenly decreased?
The nucleus would become unstable because you need a certain amount of neutrons, electrons, and protons for it to be stable.
What is the number of protons in the nucleus of a uranium atom?
92 protons in uranium nucleus
What radioactive decay of uranium?
The nucleus is too large to be stable. There is the theory of grouping of nucleons into alpha particles inside the nucleus and, through oscillations of the nucleus, one of these on one end of the nucleus can be repelled with a great enough force to push it out of the nucleus.
How become uranium to krypton and barium?
Krypton (isotopes 83 to 86) and barium (isotopes 138 and 139) are fission products of uranium, resulting from the nuclear fission of uranium atom nucleus.
What is the process that allows the nucleus of radium-226 to become more stable?
Nuclear decay.
How many protons does uranium have in its nucleus?
Uranium has 92 protons.
