What does transmutation involve?
Transmutation of elements refers to the conversion of one chemical element into another. This occurs in nuclear reactions or through radioactive decay.
Does the rate of radioactive decay slow by extreme cooling?
No, radioactive decay isn't affected by anything - temperature or pressure because it isn't a chemical or physical reaction.
What is the difference between Chemical kinetics vs Chemical decay?
Chemical decay, also known as radioactive decay, is a process that occurs naturally (usually in isotopes or unstable substances) Chemical Kinetics is one of the ways you can analyze radioactive decay. Although it should be noted that radioactive decay undergoes first order decay when using Chemical Kinetics.
Radioactive decay is chemical reaction or?
it is type of nuclear reaction because nucleus is involve in this type of reaction while in ordinary chemical reaction only valance electron of atoms involve
Are radioactive reactions redox reaction?
Radioactive reaction is a red-ox reaction. This is a nuclear decay.
What decays first duriing radioactive decay?
No, radioactive decay is not a chemical reaction. Radioactive decay is a type of change in the nucleus of an atom that results from instability in that nucleus. And that is a nuclear reaction rather than a chemical one.
Is Radioactive decay a nuclear reaction?
yes
Is thorium emits a beta particle a chemical reaction?
No, thorium emitting a beta particle is a nuclear reaction, not a chemical reaction. In a beta decay process, a neutron in the thorium nucleus converts into a proton, emitting a beta particle (an electron) and an antineutrino. This type of decay is a form of radioactive decay, which is a nuclear process involving changes in the nucleus of an atom.
What is the difference between a chemical activity and radioactive decay?
Radioactive decay is the process by which parts/all of an atom's nucleus break apart or separate, due to instability caused by the interactions between particles. A chemical reaction is the process through which chemical bonds are broken and made, and can be distinuighed from comparing the properties of the reactants and products. It usually requires some input of energy to begin.
When an atom undergoes radioactive decay the energy released in the reaction comes from what?
The energy released in radioactive decay comes from the conversion of mass from the parent atom into energy according to Einstein's famous equation, E=mc². This energy is released in the form of radiation or kinetic energy of the decay products.
Why radioactive decay is always first order reaction?
This is because only one isotope decay.
Does the process of radioactive decay fall under the study of chemistry or physics or is it a combination of both?
Radioactive decay falls under chemistry, because the chemical properties of the substance are changed during radioactive decay.
