Does gold decay?
Gold can decay if it is not a stable isotope of 79 protons and 118 neutrons. Any gold with more or less neutrons will decay. You can find a link to the isotopes of gold here: http://education.jlab.org/itselemental/iso079.html
Does silver rot gold?
No, silver does not rot gold. Rotting is a process of decay that involves organic matter breaking down. Silver and gold are noble metals that are resistant to corrosion and chemical reactions, so they do not rot or decay like organic materials.
Can radioactive gold rust?
No, radioactive gold cannot rust. Rusting is a chemical reaction that occurs with iron and other metals when exposed to oxygen and moisture, but gold does not undergo rusting. Radioactive decay in gold may lead to changes in its properties and composition, but it does not rust like iron.
How gold is biodegradable?
Gold is a noble metal and does not biodegrade in the traditional sense like organic materials. It does not react with water, air, or most chemicals, which makes it very resistant to decay. However, gold can be recycled and reused, reducing the need for new mining and environmental impact.
Gold-185 undergoes alpha decay. What is the equation for this reaction?
The alpha decay of gold-185 can be represented as (^{185}{79}Au \rightarrow ^{181}{77}Ir + ^4_2He), where (^{185}{79}Au) represents gold-185, (^{181}{77}Ir) represents iridium-181, and (^4_2He) represents an alpha particle.

Would radioactive gold alpha decay?
Sure it will. "Radioactive" means just that - that the corresponding isotope will decay.
What is the decay process of gold 197?
Gold-197 undergoes beta decay by emitting an electron and an antineutrino to form stable platinum-197. This process involves the conversion of a neutron in the nucleus into a proton, resulting in the element changing from gold to platinum. This decay process helps stabilize the nucleus of gold-197.
What type of decay is involved when gold-202 decays into mercury-202?
The decay of gold-202 into mercury-202 is an example of beta-minus decay. In this process, a neutron in the gold nucleus is converted into a proton, releasing an electron (beta particle) and an antineutrino. This results in the transmutation of the element from gold to mercury.
Does silver rot gold?
No, silver does not rot gold. Rotting is a process of decay that involves organic matter breaking down. Silver and gold are noble metals that are resistant to corrosion and chemical reactions, so they do not rot or decay like organic materials.
Why gold is used for making jewels?
Gold is used because it doesn't decay; most metals react with oxygen in the air and decay. Gold is also easy to work as it is soft and melts at relatively low temperatures, is an attractive colour and rare - making it valuable.
Why is the age of a gold ingot is often mentioned because Gold is not radioactive?
natural isotope of gold is 197 and he is stable element and not with radioactive decay why the gold ingot are often associated with age?
Can you convert a piece of rock into gold?
An earth substance can become another earth substance only through the decay of radiation, or through compression. That said, there are no radioactive materials that will decay into gold, and none that can be compressed to form it. The short answer to your question is: No, you cannot convert rock to gold.
What is the equation for alpha decay of mercury 201?
The equation for alpha decay of mercury-201 is: ^201Hg -> ^197Au + ^4He This means that mercury-201 decays into gold-197 and helium-4 by emitting an alpha particle.
Do you need xbox gold to play states of decay?
Yes you do require an Xbox live membership to play States of Decay. The game can only be purchased in the Xbox arcade, which requires Xbox Live to gain access.
Can radioactive gold rust?
No, radioactive gold cannot rust. Rusting is a chemical reaction that occurs with iron and other metals when exposed to oxygen and moisture, but gold does not undergo rusting. Radioactive decay in gold may lead to changes in its properties and composition, but it does not rust like iron.
Would an atom of radioactive gold be more likely to decay by alpha emission or beta emission?
Gold never decays by alpha emission, it either decays by -beta, +beta, K capture, or gamma emission depending on isotope.Natural gold is isotopically pure gold-197, which is stable.
