Unstable atomic nuclei decay over time into stable nuclei causing a mineral to be?
radioactive
What is nuclei that has unstable decay known as?
Atomic nuclei that are unstable and decaying are said to be radioactive. Radioactive decay involves alpha, beta and gamma particle emissions.
Why are the nuclear structures of the actinides more important than the electron configuration's of the actinides?
Because the nuclei of actinides are unstable and spontaneously break apart, all actinides are radioactive.
Where do the two neutrons and two neutrons that consist on alpha particle come from?
they come from the nuclei of an unstable atom.
What are fission fragments?
When an atomic nucleus fissions, it splits into smaller atomic nuclei. These smaller atomic nuclei are referred to as "fission fragments." The unstable nucleus of a radioactive element can fission (split) into smaller nuclei, i.e. those of lighter elements. This can also release other atomic particles, as well as energy. In nuclear power and atomic weapons, the fission process is initiated to release the nuclear energy. Natural fission is a much rarer occurrence than radioactive decay.
What is the sorce of radioactivity?
The spontaneous decomposition of unstable atomic nuclei.
Unstable atomic nuclei decay over time into stable nuclei causing a mineral to be?
radioactive
Radioactivity is caused due to what?
spontaneous decay of unstable atomic nuclei.
What is nuclei that has unstable decay known as?
Atomic nuclei that are unstable and decaying are said to be radioactive. Radioactive decay involves alpha, beta and gamma particle emissions.
What is a process in which atomic nuclei of unstable isotopes release fast-moving particles and energy?
Radioactivity
Why are the nuclear structures of the actinides more important than the electron configuration's of the actinides?

A process in which atomic nuclei of unstable isotopes release fast-moving particles and energy?
Nuclear fission
What is a nucleus that is unstable and undergoes decay?
Atomic nuclei that are unstable and decaying are said to be radioactive. Radioactive decay involves alpha, beta and gamma particle emissions.
How many unstable nuclei exist in nature?
Around 1500 unstable nuclei (or radioisotopes).
Where do the two neutrons and two neutrons that consist on alpha particle come from?
they come from the nuclei of an unstable atom.
