All radioactive elements eventually decay to lead (Pb). There a numerous isotopes of lead and it is thought that all the lead(Pb) in the world is derived from decayed radioactive isotopes.

How uranium nucleus become stable?
Being radioactive, uranium is not a stable element.
The uranium decay chain ends when the final disintergration product is the stable element?
The uranium decay chain ends with lead stable isotopes.
What is the stable element for the uranium decay chain?
Isotopes of lead
Which is the next stable element after uranium?
none, uranium itself is unstable, there are no stable elements after bismuth; and even some researchers suggest that bismuth is an unstable radioactive element with a halflife approaching twice the age of the universe.
Which element is uranium transformed into?
The end element of the uranium decay chain is a stable isotope of lead.
Does uranium not have a stable isotope?
Uranium hasn't stable isotopes.
What is the scientist Marie Curie known for?
discovery of the elements Radium and Poloniumstudying the decay chains from the radioactive element Uranium down to the stable element Lead
The uranium decay chain ends when the final disintegration products is the stable element?
Lead 206 and lead 207.
What element does uranium-238 end up as?
The decay chain in the uranium 238 series (also called radium series) id lead 206 (stable isotope).
What radioactive element turns to lead when it has lost lots of energy?
It is uranium that is changed into lead during radioactive decay. Note that there are a number of intermediate steps in the conversion of uranium into stable lead. The uranium does not change directly into lead. The uranium atom undergoes decay, and a radioactive daughter product appears. This continues with radioactive daughters appearing at the end of every step - until lead appears.
Differences between stable and unstable elements in the periodic table?
A stable element is an element that does not provide radioactivity. 1 kg of Gold will be 1 kg of gold even after 100.000 years. It is a stable element. An unstable element (like Uranium or Plutoneum) gives off radioactivity and actually form new elements like lead. 1 kg of pure Uranium will be 500 grams of Uranium and 500 grams of lead after 100.000 years. Times given and breakdown products are for illustrative purposes only. Degradation of unstable materials is not my science but I know the basics of it :-) Regards.
What is radioactive disintegration series?
A disintegration series is the pathway of a radioactively unstable element into a stable element. The pathway alters the atomic number of the element and converts the element into another element. A common one is the uranium disintegration series.
