Is uranium stabled?
Uranium is unstable, radioactive element.
How can element 92 become element 83?
Through radioactive decay, because Uranium (element 92) is unstable.
Which is the next stable element after uranium?
none, uranium itself is unstable, there are no stable elements after bismuth; and even some researchers suggest that bismuth is an unstable radioactive element with a halflife approaching twice the age of the universe.
Why is uranium considered radioactive?
Uranium is considered a radioactive chemical element because uranium (all the isotopes) is unstable and emit nuclear radiations.
Uranium is an example of what?
Uranium is an example of an actinde; also uranium is a solid metal, radioactive, a natural chemical element.
What causes Uranium to be radioactive?
The stability depend on the ratio between protons and neutrons; uranium has too many neutrons.
What element has all of their isotopes radioactive?
An example is uranium.
When does Uranium-235 become unstable?
Uranium 235 is unstable because it is a radioactive isotope. This means that it is constantly decaying and emitting radiation. The reason it is unstable is because it has too many neutrons in its nucleus. The neutron is a unstable particle, and when there are too many of them in one place, they can cause problems. When uranium 235 decays, it emits alpha particles, which are high-energy particles that can damage DNA and cause cancer.
Differences between stable and unstable elements in the periodic table?
A stable element is an element that does not provide radioactivity. 1 kg of Gold will be 1 kg of gold even after 100.000 years. It is a stable element. An unstable element (like Uranium or Plutoneum) gives off radioactivity and actually form new elements like lead. 1 kg of pure Uranium will be 500 grams of Uranium and 500 grams of lead after 100.000 years. Times given and breakdown products are for illustrative purposes only. Degradation of unstable materials is not my science but I know the basics of it :-) Regards.
Is uranium a semi metal?
Uranium is a natural chemical element, solid, radioactive, unstable, having a great density, also atomic weight, with moderated reactivity, toxic, useful etc.
Uranium and radon share the property of radioactivity which means?
It means that the corresponding element (or isotope) is unstable; the atoms will decay eventually.
What is radioactive disintegration series?
A disintegration series is the pathway of a radioactively unstable element into a stable element. The pathway alters the atomic number of the element and converts the element into another element. A common one is the uranium disintegration series.
