When the uranium atoms fission, the result is a number of different atoms of other elements are formed, these are called the fission products. Some are highly radioactive which means they then decay into other elements, some of which are long lived. The result is that when the fuel is eventually removed from the reactor and stored, it contains various radioactive elements, which is why it is dangerous and has to be stored away from any human contact.
What else can I help you with?
The atom that remains afterr a nucleus disintigrates is?
A daughter product is one name given to this effect. The daughter product itself may undergo radioactive disintegration again.
In a nuclear disintegration the particle that is ejected may be?
It is smaller than the original atom and is possibly radioactive.
The atom that remains after a nucleus disintegrates is what?
smaller than the original atom and possibly radioactive
How is the radioactive decay of Krypton different from the radioactive decay of Americium?
The radioactive decay of americium 241 is by alpha disintegration; the disintegration of radioactive krypton isotopes is by beta particles emission.
What will happen to a neptunium atom over time?
The fate of all radioactive and unstable isotopes is the disintegration until to stable isotopes are obtained.
The atom that remains after a neculus desinigrates?
After the nucleus break down, the atoms become smaller in some way. The remaining atom may be radioactive or it can also be balanced. The end result during the disintegration may be known depends on the process of how it disintegrates.
What is the positively charged atom that is released in the disinegration of a radioactive element?
The positively charged atom that is released in the disintegration of a radioactive element is called an alpha particle. It consists of two protons and two neutrons, giving it a positive charge.
Is conversion by radioactive decay a chemical reaction?
No. It is a nuclear reaction - radioactive disintegration.
What made up all radioactive elements?
After disintegration all radioactive elements are transformed in other elements.
What changes occur when a radioactive isotope disintegrates?
When a radioactive isotope disintegrates, it releases radiation in the form of alpha or beta particles, gamma rays, or neutrons. This process changes the atom's nucleus, leading to the formation of a different element or isotope. The disintegration continues until a stable atom is reached.
What is francium because it breaks down and gives off particles and energy?
Francium is a radioactive element supporting radioactive disintegration.
What is it when naturally unstable elements realize particles?
This phenomenon is called radioactive disintegration.
