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
What is gold gold iron or sulfur?
radioactive decay
Why is gold inert?
No single acid dissolves it. It is unaffected by oxygen or hydrogen sulfide. Gold does not rust, tarnish, corrode, crumble, decompose or decay, even after centuries on the sea floor or in a damp dripping cavern.
The least energetic of the forms of radioactive decay is ______?
alpha decay
What is ratio decay?
No such thing as ratio decay. Sorry

What is gold gold iron or sulfur?
radioactive decay
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?
it demolishes its self
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.
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.
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?
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.
What type of decay is involved when gold-202 decays into mercury-202?
Negative beta (electron) decay; in which the mass number remains constant) and the atomic number of daughter atom in higher than the parent atom by one.
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.
Why is gold inert?
No single acid dissolves it. It is unaffected by oxygen or hydrogen sulfide. Gold does not rust, tarnish, corrode, crumble, decompose or decay, even after centuries on the sea floor or in a damp dripping cavern.
