They become slightly more stable with each decay until they become stable and stop decaying.

What does the large nucleus do?
The larger nuclei are unstable and undergo the disintegration process to gain the stability they emit particles as the radio active rays. the largest stable nucleus is for 82Pb (Lead) so nuclei having atomic numbers higher than 82 are Radioactive.
Does group 2A elements lose or gain protons or electrons?
Group 2A elements tend to GAIN electrons!!
Why do black holes evaporate?
Only relatively small black holes (radius is less than 1/10mm) evaporate. This is because they emit small amounts of thermal radiation. This radiation is energy. Energy is just another form of mass (E=mc^2) so it will eventually lose mass if it doesn't gain enough. Bigger black holes don't evaporate because they pull in more mass and energy than they emit. They pull in things such as stellar dust and background radiation.
What elements gain electrons when they bond?
Nonmetals gain electrons in chemical reactions.
Elements can be lost or gain in chemical reaction?
Elements cannot be lost/gained: this is the law of mass conservation.
What kind of elements are in the periodic table?
The horizontal rows of elements on the periodic table of elements. Periods gain one proton and one electron as you read the table from left to right.
Do all objects radiate energy?
yes. as long at the obj is above absolute 0, it has energy and hence will emit heat. whether there is a net heat gain or loss depends on the environment it is in. yes. as long at the obj is above absolute 0, it has energy and hence will emit heat. whether there is a net heat gain or loss depends on the environment it is in.

What is the difference between radiation and radioactivity?
There is no difference in the meaning of the word. It is essentially the same thing. There are just two differenct forms of the word. You're still dealing with radium, Uranium, americium, and other radioactive elements either way.

Will unstable nuclei all undergo radioactive decay in order to gain stability?
Yes
What elements gain electrons when they bond?
Nonmetals gain electrons in chemical reactions.
Which type of element seeks to gain electrons?
Non-metals gain electrons.
How can you can increase or decrease the energy possessed by electrons?
Electrons can absorb photons and gain energy, and they can emit photons and lose energy.
What are formed when elements gain or loose electrons?
ions
What has the author H V Cottony written?
H. V. Cottony has written: 'Gain patterns of hardened array antennas using dipoles as radiating elements' -- subject(s): Antennas, Antennas (Electronics), Shortwave radio, Radiation, Measurement
