The decay of dead organisms in the soil makes the biochemical constituents of that organism more readily available for use by plant life; in other words, it turns dead things into fertilizer, and is a form of recycling. Therefore, it is useful.

nuclear decay rates take more time and chemical reaction rates could happen fast.


Is conversion by radioactive decay a chemical reaction?

No. It is a nuclear reaction - radioactive disintegration.


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.


Which statement describes the differences between chemical reactions and nuclear decay rates?

Nuclear decay rates vary, but chemical reaction rates are constant


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


What is the difference between a nuclear decay from a chemical reaction?

Nuclear decay involves the contents of the atomic nucleus, the protons and neutrons. Chemical reactions involve the electrons.

How is tooth decay a chemical reaction?

Tooth decay is a chemical reaction that occurs when acids produced by bacteria in the mouth (like Streptococcus mutans) break down the enamel and dentin of the teeth. These acids demineralize the hard tissues of the teeth, leading to the formation of cavities. The reaction involves the dissolution of calcium and phosphate minerals from the tooth structure by the acids.
