All radioactive nuclides of an element have the same half life?
No, halflife is a bulk statistical property of a quantity of an isotope of an element.Individual nuclei do not have halflives, instead they have a probability of decaying at the current moment of time.
What is the element used for storing and transporting radioactive material?
The correct answer is LEAD. You can find the same question/answer if you type in "The element used for storing and transporting radioactive materials is?" in the search bar.
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.
How does the length of the half-life of the element correspond to the radioactivity of the element?
The length of time required for half of a sample of radioactive material to decay
Is the half-life of a chemical element one-half of the amount of a radioactive element to decay?
The half-life is the time that it takes for 1/2 of a material to decay.
What happens to a radioactive material over time?
It disintegrates into its daughter nuclei that are much more stabler than the radioactive nuclei. If a sample of radioacictive material is left it will decay into another element over a period of time. Note that complete decay is not possible. A fraction of the original radioactive material will always remain in the sample.

What is a slogan for moscovium the element?
Moscovium is a synthetic, radioactive material that nothing is understood about
What characterizes a radioactive element?
As radioactive element is an element that is on the Priodic Table of Elements. A Radioactive Element is usually radioactive.

A particular element has a half life of 27 days after 54 days have elapsed how much of the radioactive material is left?
In one cycle, the material would be reduced to one half of the original, leaving one half of the material. In the second cycle (54/27 = 2), there would be 1/2 of that half, leaving 1/4 of the original material.
How does a sample of radioactive waste decay to a nonhazardous level?
All radioactive material has a characteristic half-life. This is a period during which half the matter from the original mass will have decayed into a daughter element. Either the daughter element is non-radioactive and therefore non-hazardous or it is radioactive and has its own half-life. The total radioactivity thus reduces over time and at some stage is deemed to reach a non-hazardous level.
Will the radioactive property remain in an ionic compound when a metal element is highly radioactive combined with a non-metal element which is non-radioactive?
A radioactive material is radioactive. Period. The atoms of radioactive material have unstable nuclei. If you combine them with other material, the radioactive material will remain unaffected as regards its radioactivity. Recall that radioactivity is related to the instability of atomic nuclei, and the atomic structure of atomic nuclei are (in general) not involved in chemical bonding. Chemical bonding doesn't affect the stability of the nuclei of atoms. If they are unstable, they will remain so whether the atoms are alone or chemically combined with something else.
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.
Is the element sodium radioactive or non-radioactive?
non radioactive element
How does the length of the half-life of the element correspond to the radioactivity of the element?
The length of time required for half of a sample of radioactive material to decay
What happens to radioactive materials if you do not use them?
That depends on the radioactive material. But whether you use it or not, the radioactive material will decay into other elements over the course of time. The time it takes for half of the material to decay into something else is called the "half-life". The more radioactive the substance is, the faster it decays. The half-life of a radioactive element can be measured from fractions of a second to billions of years.
