Best Answer

The daughter isotope is the result of the radioactive disintegration of the parent isotope. For example radium is a product of the uranium disintegration.

The two isotopes have different chemical (different atomic numbers, etc.), physical and nuclear properties.

Is it true that a stable radioactive isotope called the parent will decay and form daughter products?

1. All the radioactive isotopes are unstable ! 2. Yes, it is true, the parent isotope (radioactive and unstable) decay and form daughter products.


Is a parent isotope more radioactive then a daughter isotope?
