What are 2 radioactiv elements?
There are different types of elements in the world including the dangerous radioactive ones. Two of the radioactive elements in the world are hydrogen and carbon.
What types of elements are useful for dating materials?
Radioactive elements are used to date the age of rocks. Radioactive elements decay according to a known pattern. Scientists can use the elements of that pattern to determine when the rock with the original radioactive element was formed.
What can be categorized into different types of elements?
Examples: metals or nonmetals, radioactive or not radioactive, classification after the state of matter, reactive or not reactive etc.
Compare and contrast two types of radioactive decay?
you have to know what radioactive decay is.
What are two types of dating?
The two types of radioactive dating that are most common are: Carbon 14 and Potassium-Argon. There are quite a few others.
Is copper radioactive?
No isotope of copper ordinarily found in nature is radioactive. Like all elements, synthetic radioactive isotopes of copper exist.
What are two types of beta decay for radioactive elements?
Some isotopes emit an electron on decay, others emit a positron (anti-electron).
The most common types of radioactive decay least penetrating human tissue to most penetrating?
alpha, beta, gamma
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 it true that radioactive decay results in the fusion of stable nuclei along with the emission of multiple types of radiation?
No. Fusion is the combining of light elements into heavier elements (like 2 deuterium into 1 helium). radioactive decay is when you have an unstable atom releasing energy (and sometimes matter) in order to reach a more stable state.
Radioactive decay do not involve electrons?
Radioactive decay may or may not involve electrons. There are different types of radioactive decay.
Difference between a non-radioactive substance and a radioactive substance?
Radioactive elements are unstable and will decay into other elements in a decay chain. Non-radioactive elements are stable and won't commence into radioactive decay. Radioactive elements can be found from atomic number 84 onwards.
