Why non-radioactive substances became radioactive when placed near a radium compound?
The particles emitted by a radioactive substance can change other atoms, and in some cases, they will turn into radioactive isotopes.
What is the difference between radioactive and non-radioactive isotope?
Radioactive minerals are unstable and emit radiation at a constant rate. They also have half lives and lose energy overtime. Nonradioactive minerals are stable, and by there own are incapable of emitting energy.
What are the isotopes that give off energy and emit particles are known as?
Isotopes that emit particles and give off energy are known as "radioactive" isotopes. The particles they emit generally come in the form of α-radiation i.e α particles (helium nucleus), and ß-radiation, i.e. ß-particles (electron or positron). Some small amount of neutrons may be emitted by an isotope as a byproduct of α-radiation. The primary energy emitted by radioactive isotopes is gamma radiation and heat; the heat comes from the effect of α-, ß and gamma radiation being absorbed by the surrounding materials.
Is radioactive uranium positively charged?
The alpha radiation emitted from uranium isotopes is an ionizing radiation.
Gaseous products of a disintegrating radioactive substance such as thoron or radon?
The gaseous products of a disintegrating radioactive substance such as thoron or radon usually include isotopes of helium or polonium. These isotopes are formed as a result of radioactive decay and are emitted in the form of gas. They can pose a health risk if inhaled, as they are radioactive and can accumulate in the lungs.
Which Of the main types of radiation emitted from naturally radioactive isotopes which is the most penetrating?
In descending order of penetration:-gamma rays.neutrons.beta particles.alpha particles.
Why non-radioactive substances became radioactive when placed near a radium compound?
The particles emitted by a radioactive substance can change other atoms, and in some cases, they will turn into radioactive isotopes.
The radioactive emission that has the greatest penetrating power is?
Gamma, i.e. photon emitted from the nucleus, has the highest penetrating power.

Gamma rays are emitted by?
they are emitted by radioactivity during radioactive decay.
Gamma rays are emitted by what?
they are emitted by radioactivity during radioactive decay.
Are x-rays emitted during radioactive decay?
Yes they are. Nearly all kinds of electromagnetic radiation are emitted during radioactive decay
A penetrating ray of energy emitted by an unstable nucleus?
Gamma rays.
What are becquerel rays?
Rys emitted by radioactive substances.
