Radioactive substances consist of nuclei that can't be held together by the what?
Radioactive substances consist of nuclei that can't be held together by the strong force.
Which is not radioactive beta rays gamma rays or X-rays?
Both beta rays and gamma rays are the products of radioactive decay and are the result of changes in atomic nuclei. X-rays can be generated by using high voltage to accelerate electrons and slam them into a metal target, so they might be said to be non-radioactive.
Unstable atomic nuclei decay over time into stable nuclei causing a mineral to be?
radioactive
What is nuclei that has unstable decay known as?
Atomic nuclei that are unstable and decaying are said to be radioactive. Radioactive decay involves alpha, beta and gamma particle emissions.
Is spontaneous fusion a form of radioactive decay?
No, the fusion process is the opposite of the radioactive decay process. Fusion is the merging together of nuclei to form a heavier nucleus whereas fission or radioactive decay is the splitting apart of a heavy nucleus into lighter daughter nuclei.
Does radioactive isotopes have a stable nuclei?
Radioactive isotopes are not stable.
Radioactive substances consist of nuclei that can't be held together by the what?
Radioactive substances consist of nuclei that can't be held together by the strong force.
How do some nuclei change?
Atomic nuclei are changed by nuclear reactions or radioactive disintegration.
Which is not radioactive beta rays gamma rays or X-rays?
Both beta rays and gamma rays are the products of radioactive decay and are the result of changes in atomic nuclei. X-rays can be generated by using high voltage to accelerate electrons and slam them into a metal target, so they might be said to be non-radioactive.
What is fision?
fission- is a process in which the nuclei of radioactive atoms are split in to two or more smaller nuclei.
Unstable atomic nuclei decay over time into stable nuclei causing a mineral to be?
radioactive
What are atoms that emit particles and energy from their nuclei?
radioactive
What does it mean for something to be radioactive?
its nuclei can split apart
How do nuclear atoms differ from regular atoms?
All atoms are nuclear, in that they all have nuclei. Some atoms have unstable nuclei, making them radioactive. I'm afraid I have no idea what you mean by "nuclear atoms," unless you meant to say radioactive atoms, in which case the answer is "they have unstable nuclei and they're radioactive."
What is nuclei that has unstable decay known as?
Atomic nuclei that are unstable and decaying are said to be radioactive. Radioactive decay involves alpha, beta and gamma particle emissions.
Will the radioactive property remain in an ionic compound when a metal element is highly radioactive combined with a non-metal element which is non-radioactive?
A radioactive material is radioactive. Period. The atoms of radioactive material have unstable nuclei. If you combine them with other material, the radioactive material will remain unaffected as regards its radioactivity. Recall that radioactivity is related to the instability of atomic nuclei, and the atomic structure of atomic nuclei are (in general) not involved in chemical bonding. Chemical bonding doesn't affect the stability of the nuclei of atoms. If they are unstable, they will remain so whether the atoms are alone or chemically combined with something else.
What elements have more than 92 protons in their nuclei?
radioactive.
