What happens to a radioisotope when it undergoes decay?
This isotope is transformed in another isotope of another element.
What is isotope and radio isotope?
Isotopes are atoms of a particular element with different numbers of neutrons. A radio isotope is an isotope that is radioactive because the nucleus is unstable.
What element has 82 protons and 124 neutrons?
the element is lead and the particular isotope is Pb-206
Is an isotope a positively charged particle?
No. An element is a type of atom; distinguished by the number of protons; an isotope might be considered a "sub-type", distinguished by the number of neutrons. In other words, different isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons, but the number of neutrons varies. This is completely unrelated to the electric charge.
What is the breakdown of a radioactive isotope of the same element or of another element?
radioactive decay

What is make an atom isotope?
It is the neutron that makes changes in atomic nuclei to change them from one isotope to another. For any given element, that element will have a fixed number of protons. It is, after all, the number of protons that determine the elemental identity. But the number of neutrons in a given element can vary, and we use the term isotope to talk about which particular atom we're investigating. That is, we apply the term isotope to speak to an atom of a given element with a certain number of neutrons in its nucleus.
What configuration defines an isotope of the same element?
Isotopes of one particular element differ only in their number of neutrons in nucleus.
What is the mass number of this element 82 pb?
Mass number refers to a particular isotope of 82Pb.
What is the element the only stable isotope of a particular alkali metal that has 78 neutrons?
Ba and Cs
What does the number after the element represent eg carbon-14?
It represents the mass number of that particular isotope.
Are beryllium atoms identical?
Each atom of an isotope of beryllium (or of another element) is different from the atoms of an other isotope. But all the atoms of an isotope are identical.
Is a proton larger than an isotope?
They cannot be compared because a proton is a part of the atom and an isotope is just a variant of a particular chemical element which is made of atoms
