Which of the following is not produced by nuclear decay A Alpha particles B Beta particles C Gamma rays D Delta particles?
There is no such thing as delta particles in nuclear decay.
The least energetic of the forms of radioactive decay is ______?
alpha decay
What is ratio decay?
No such thing as ratio decay. Sorry
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.
How can you say that radioactive decay is random unless you know that the nuclides are identical in the first place?
Radioactive decay is a random event. But we can assess it by statistical analysis of a large number of decay events across time for a given radionuclide. Standard stastical analysis ideas apply. The way we know that it is the radionuclide we specify is that we refine the sample chemically. Then we look at the decay mode. If it is a situation where there is particle emission, we can identify the particle and the energy it comes out at. If its electromagnetic, we can specify an energy associated with the photon. The mode of decay and the energy cast off are the ways we can insure our "count" of the decay events specifically targets the radionuclide we are investigating. That and the applied chemistry we specified to clean up the sample. We're good at this radioactive decay thing. We can count even a very few decay events, and do so accurately across time (though more is better). And because we've done our homework as regards type of decay and energies, we know what it is that is decaying, and how long it is taking to decay. We can arrive at a half-life for a given radionuclide. A link can be found below.
What living thing decay?

What is the difference between decay and decompose?
decay to rot or destroy decompose dead thing eaten by fungi or bacteria
Are the alpha particle and helium nucleus the same thing?
Yes and no, alpha particles are a form or radiation (a helium nucleus), they are emitted from an unstable radioactive element which decays (and turns into some lighter element) by emitting the alpha particle. This form of decay is called alpha decay.
Nuclear energy is released during what?
During that one time, you know. That one time is that one Science thing..? I am putting this up here because all of you other douchebags do this type of stuff, when I really need the answer. So, thanks boo boo..
Why is there such thing as radioactive decay?
quantum mechanics allows itnuclei with either too many or too few neutrons take advantage of this permitted process to restore the balance of neutrons to protons
How do you prevent decaying?
this depends on what type of decay you are asking about. the decay of tissue, or the decay of elements. elemental decay is the process in which an element (carbon, hydrogen, uranium, etc...) loses atoms, and is unpreventable. the decay of tissue is a process where decomposers such as scavengers (vultures), and bacteria eat away at the once, living matter. the only way to prevent this is to keep the composers away from the "thing."
What types of thing don't decay?
The beauty of a rainbow. The natural numbers.
