When radioactive decay occurs a atom is always produced by the action?
During any type of radioactive decay, one isotope (type of atom) will convert into a different 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.
Geothermal energy is caused by what type of decay?
It is Radioactive Decay.
Which form of radioactive decay consists of photons?
Gamma decay consists of the emission of gamma rays, which are high-energy photons. This type of radioactive decay occurs when an unstable nucleus releases excess energy in the form of gamma rays to become more stable.
What term indicates the process in which unstable nuclide release radiation?
If it is related to Nuclear studies, then the answer would be fusion.
What type of radioactive decay results in uranium becoming thorium?
Alpha decay
What type of radioactive decay the largest and most damaging particles?
alpha decay
Why does radioactive decay happen and what are the factors that influence this process?
Radioactive decay occurs when unstable atomic nuclei release energy in the form of radiation to become more stable. Factors that influence this process include the type of radioactive isotope, the amount of the isotope present, and external factors such as temperature and pressure.

Radioactive decay occurs because unstable atomic nuclei release energy in the form of radiation to become more stable. Factors that influence this process include the type of radioactive isotope, the amount of the isotope present, and external factors such as temperature and pressure.
What type of radioactive decay results in uranium-238 becoming thorium-234?
Alpha decay
What affect the half life of a radioactive substance A the mass of the substance B the temperature of the substance C the addition of a catalyst D the type?
A. The half-life of a radioactive substance is determined by the specific decay process of that substance, so it is not affected by the mass of the substance or the temperature. B. The mass of the substance does not affect the half-life of a radioactive substance. C. The addition of a catalyst does not affect the half-life of a radioactive substance. D. The type of radioactive substance directly determines its half-life, as different substances undergo radioactive decay at varying rates.
What type of radioactive decay releases energy from the nucleus without a change of protons neutrons?
This is a gamma-decay.
