In alpha decay the parent element and the daughter element can be different isotopes of the same element but in beta decay the parent and daughter element are always the same?
No. In both the cases the element would definitely change. As alpha particle comes out then the new element would have two less in atomic number where as in beta particle decay the new element will have one higher in atomic number.
What is a decay chain?
One element decaying into another, which decays into another
How can you use the parent element to determine the daughter element in alpha decay?
In alpha decay, the atomic number decreases by 2, while the atomic mass number decreases by 4.
How can the element Americium change into the element neptunium?
Americium decays into neptunium-239 through alpha decay. It has a half-life of 7,370 years.
In the following decay equation 24 12 Mg is the?
daughter element
What is a parent and daughter element?
Parent and daughter in chemistry refer to radioactive decay, where a radioactive isotope of an element decays into another. For example, carbon-14 will beta-decay into nitrogen-14. The half-life associated with that particular process is about 5,700 years. The "parent" is carbon-14 and the "daughter" is nitrogen-14.
What is a parent isotope?
These terms apply to the decay of radionuclides. The parent isotope is 'the starting point' of a decay series that when it decays, by giving off radiation, changes into another element, or isotope of the original element (the daughter isotope). For example: When Uranium 238 (parent isotope) decays and gives off an alpha particle, it transmutes into Thorium 234 (the daughter isotope).
What is the daughter nucleus produced wnhen 213Bi undergoes alpha decay?
209 83Bi
What is the term for the element that a radioactive isotope decay into?
The atom that results from nuclear decay is called the daughter atom. The element of the daughter atom would be called the daughter element. The atom that decayed is called the parent.
In alpha and beta decay the parent elements is always a different element from the daughter element?
true
What is a Radioactive Parent?
Radio active parent elements decay to stable daughter elements i.e. the radio active parent Potassium 40 decays to Argon 40 Each radioactive isotope has it's own half life A half life is the time it takes for the parent radioactive element to decay to a daughter product, Potassium 40 decays to Argon 40 with a half life of 1 1/4 billion years. Therin lies the problem of storing nuclear waste
Can alpha and beta decay the parent element and the daughter element can be different isotopes of the same elements?
False.

What type of decay is involved when gold-202 decays into mercury-202?
Negative beta (electron) decay; in which the mass number remains constant) and the atomic number of daughter atom in higher than the parent atom by one.
What new element is then created by a single beta decay of this isotope 239U?
Uranium-239 decays by beta- decay to neptunium-239.
