Can you get power from the radioactive element Uranium?
Yes, the radioactive decay of Uranium-235 is used to produce power in nuclear power plants.
What is the breakdown of a radioactive isotope of the same element or of another element?
radioactive decay
What are the properties of radioactive decay?
Radioactive decay has the following properties: 1. No element can completely decay. 2. The number of atoms decaying in a particular period is proportional to the number of atoms present in the beginning of that period. 3. Estimate of radioactive decay can be made by half life and decay constant of a radioactive element.
What radioactive element is the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms to decay?
The half-life
What is the process by which an element slowly decays over time?
It is through radioactive decay that a quantity of an unstable element will decay over time. A material that is unstable will undergo this process, and the sample is said to be radioactive.

What is the breakdown of a radioactive isotope of the same element or of another element?
radioactive decay
Can a radioactive element completely decay so that it is all stable matter?
A radioactive element (atom) can decay up to a stable isotope.
What is the lightest element that can undergo radioactive decay and what type of decay occurs in that element?
The lightest "element" that can undergo radioactive decay is the isotope hydrogen-3, which undergoes beta decay. The lightest element with no radioactively stable isotopes is technetium, and its isotopes have different modes of decay.
What does a radioactive element decay to form?
It turns into another element.
What are the properties of radioactive decay?
Radioactive decay has the following properties: 1. No element can completely decay. 2. The number of atoms decaying in a particular period is proportional to the number of atoms present in the beginning of that period. 3. Estimate of radioactive decay can be made by half life and decay constant of a radioactive element.
What kind of decay can change one element to another kind of element?
That would be radioactive decay.
The time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample of a radioactive element to decay is the element's?
i got no idea
Radioactive decay occurs when?
When a radioactive element slowly turns into another element/s when it emits various particles.
Can one element change into a different element?
Yes, but only if it is radioactive. Radioactive elements change into different elements through radioactive decay.
What other solids can destroy einsteinium?
Einsteinium as a radioactive element has itself a radioactive decay.
What radioactive element is the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms to decay?
The half-life
