Are superheavy elements stable or unstable?
unstable, think about it.
Do stable atoms release nuclear particles?
No. If they did, they would be radioactive and unstable.
Why is an isotope unstable?
A lot of the natural occurring isotopes are stable, such as those of smaller elements. The bigger an atom is, the more unstable its isotopes may be (not an absolute rule, though). It is harder to keep the many nuclear parts (protons and neutrons) together if they are so numerous as in heavy elements.
When elements are more stable in a combined formwhich forms?
Each element can form stable, less stable or unstable compounds.
Can all elements be stable?
All radioactive elements are unstable. Most isotopes of elements in periodic table are radioactive. Overall, most of the elements are unstable but they are present in traces on earth. Most elements on earth are stable.
What is the property of an unstable isotope?
It will decay to a more stable lighter elements and release out some nuclear energy.
Are superheavy elements stable or unstable?
unstable, think about it.
Process when an Atom change from stable to unstable?
Nuclear reactions
Is this a stable element Carbon atomic number 6?
It really isn't elements that are stable or unstable, but isotopes. Carbon has both stable and unstable isotopes.
What type of processes breaks down elements?
Nuclear fission breaks down elements.
Do stable atoms release nuclear particles?
No. If they did, they would be radioactive and unstable.
Are atoms that exist naturally in th periodic table neutral or stable?
Some natural chemical elements are stable, some are not stable; all the artificial elmemets are unstable. Also be sure that several natural elements have stable and unstable isotopes.
Why is an isotope unstable?
A lot of the natural occurring isotopes are stable, such as those of smaller elements. The bigger an atom is, the more unstable its isotopes may be (not an absolute rule, though). It is harder to keep the many nuclear parts (protons and neutrons) together if they are so numerous as in heavy elements.
Is platinum stable or unstable in its natural state?
Platinum is highly stable. It is among the most inert elements.
When elements are more stable in a combined formwhich forms?
Each element can form stable, less stable or unstable compounds.
Can all elements be stable?
All radioactive elements are unstable. Most isotopes of elements in periodic table are radioactive. Overall, most of the elements are unstable but they are present in traces on earth. Most elements on earth are stable.
What is stable and unstable isotopes?
Some isotopes are stable, others are unstable.
