What else can I help you with?
Does the rate of radioactive decay slow by extreme cooling?
No, radioactive decay isn't affected by anything - temperature or pressure because it isn't a chemical or physical reaction.
What atom undergoes radioactive decay what is actually split or affected the most?
nucleus
What is the source of heat in the Earth interior?
The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.
Why do you think chemistry will not change the decay rate of an isotope?
Chemistry governs the interactions and properties of substances but does not influence nuclear processes such as radioactive decay. Radioactive decay rates are intrinsic to each isotope and are determined by the nucleus’s instability. This process is not affected by the chemical environment or external conditions.
When radioactive isotopes break down into other elements the process is called?
radioactive decay
Radioactive decay speeds up at higher temperatures?
No, radioactive decay is not affected by temperature, at least, not in anything like a normal range. At millions of degrees, yes, it would speed up.
Is radioactive decay affected by external conditions?
In reality, and what you will be taught in a standard physics textbook, is that radioactive decay is not affected by external conditions. However, theoretically, if the temperature is around 100GeV (giga electron volts), then the weak force will be unified with the strong force and the electromagnetic forces, meaning it will no longer be "weak" and the rate of decay will thus increase dramatically.
Radioactive decay can be affected by?
The rate of decay of a radioactive element cannot be influenced by any physical or chemical change. It is a rather constant phenomenon that appears to be independent of all others. The rate of decay is given by an element's half life, which is the amount of time for approximately half of the atoms to decay.
How can the rate of radioactive decay change over time?
The rate of radioactive decay can change over time due to factors such as the type of radioactive material, environmental conditions, and any external influences. The decay rate is generally constant for a specific radioactive isotope, but it can be affected by changes in temperature, pressure, or chemical reactions. Additionally, the decay rate can also be influenced by the presence of other radioactive materials or particles that may interact with the original material.
What is the effect of pressure on the rate of radioactive decay?
Pressure does not have a significant effect on the rate of radioactive decay, as it is mainly influenced by the instability of the nucleus of the atom. The decay process is determined by the nuclear forces within the atom, which are not significantly affected by external pressure changes.
How is the radioactive decay of Krypton different from the radioactive decay of Americium?
The radioactive decay of americium 241 is by alpha disintegration; the disintegration of radioactive krypton isotopes is by beta particles emission.
What term indicates the process in which unstable nuclide release radiation?
If it is related to Nuclear studies, then the answer would be fusion.
