Want this question answered?
Can be alpha, beta particles in radioactive decay, or neutrons in fission. There is also gamma ray energy which is part of the EM spectrum I believe the answer your looking for is Radiation
Exhibiting or caused by radioactivity.Radioactivity: the spontaneous emission of a stream of particles or electromagnetic rays in nuclear decay.Examples are radioactive isotopes [an unstable nucleus that undergoes radioactive decay], radioactive dating [the process by which the approximate age of an object is determined based on the amount of certain radioactive nuclides present], and radioactive decay [the spontaneous disintegration of a nucleus into a slightly lighter and more stable nucleus, accompanied by emission of particles, electromagnetic radiation, or both.]
The energy is stored in the atoms - in the forces between protons and neutrons - from the start, as a type of potential energy.
A non-radioactive element is an element that has at least 1 isotope that is not radioactive. The means that at least one isotope has a stable nucleus that does not break down by shooting off high-energy particles.
Any excited atomic nucleus can radiate energy, but we generally only see radioactive atoms emitting radiation.
Sounds to me like radiation from a radioactive isotope. The breaking down part would be the half-life. But the isotope won't completely break down. Only until it reaches a stable form. Such as, radium-226 decays finally to lead-206. During the process it emits charged Alpha particles.
Radioactive elements such as radium or uranium emit radiation. There are three types of "radiation"; alpha particles (which are solitary electrons), beta particles (helium nuclei, consisting of two protons and two neutrons) and "gamma radiation", which is high-energy electromagnetic energy similar to light or X-rays.
Marie Curie discovered radiation - she did lots of work with radio activity,and radioactive isotopes,and the spontaneous decay of certain elements into other elements and energy.
Radioactive elements are unstable and will decay into other elements in a decay chain. Non-radioactive elements are stable and won't commence into radioactive decay. Radioactive elements can be found from atomic number 84 onwards.
Decay energy is the energy that has been freed during radioactive decay. When radioactive decay is ongoing it drops off some energy by means of discharging radiation.
Yes. The Sun is powered by the process of Nuclear Fusion and it does output radioactive energy, mainly in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
The atoms become some other type of atom. In the process, they emit some radiation, which contains energy. The radiation they emit typically include one or more of the following: alpha particles (helium-4 nuclei), beta particles (electrons or positrons), gamma rays, and neutrinos.
There is not one, but many radioactive elements. Radioactive isotopes, to be more precise - because sometimes, one isotope may be stable, while another isotope of the same element is radioactive. All, or most, elements have radioactive isotopes.
The energy released in a radioactive decay arises because the nucleus is moving from one energy level to a lower energy one. The link below gives a good outline explanation in the Explanation section.
One of the radioactive elements used for nuclear energy is 235U92, commonly stated as U-235.
The elements described are said to be radioactive.
