Where do the two neutrons and two neutrons that consist on alpha particle come from?
they come from the nuclei of an unstable atom.
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.
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.
What describes all the nuclei with more than 83 protons?
radioactive
What is the difference between radioactive and non radioactive materials?
Radioactive substances are unstable as a result of the extra neutrons present in the nuclei of the substance. Non radioactive substances are stable.
What is the difference between a non-radioactive substance and a radioactive substance?
Radioactive substances are unstable as a result of the extra neutrons present in the nuclei of the substance. Non-radioactive substances are stable.
Where do the two neutrons and two neutrons that consist on alpha particle come from?
they come from the nuclei of an unstable atom.
What is the activity of a radioactive substance?
any one or a combination of radioactive substances that gives off photons that are usually considered harmful to humans and other life forms
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.
Are the companion cell without nuclei?
It does not consist of nuclei
Does radioactive isotopes have a stable nuclei?
Radioactive isotopes are not stable.
What does the posterior nuclei of the thalamus consist of?
lateral and medial geniculate nuclei
How do some nuclei change?
Atomic nuclei are changed by nuclear reactions or radioactive disintegration.
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
