When one element goes through radio active decay, it looses some alpha , beta particles and also neutrons so considering those things we should reduce number of alpha , beta and also neutrons lost by the element. from that we have to decide the element which occur after radio active decay.

What kind of decay results in the formation of a different element?
both top and bottomAlpha decay is a kind of radioactive decay in which an alpha particle is emitted from an atom. An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons. Therefore, when an atom of an element undergoes alpha decay, it loses two protons, which changes the atom from one element to another. This is because each different element is identified by the number of protons in its nuclei.or to be more blunt without all the detail radioactive
Alpha decay and beta decay are two forms of decay that cause transmutation?
Transmutation, which is the change of atoms from one element to another.
What other solids can destroy einsteinium?
Einsteinium as a radioactive element has itself a radioactive decay.
As radioactive uranium decay it turns into what stable element?
Heavy radioactive elements (parent nuclei) decay to form daughter products that are as varied in number as the parents. Each heavy element has its own daughter.To find the decay mode and end products of the radioactive decay for a given isotope, use a Table of Nuclides. A link is provided to the interactive chart posted by the National Nuclear Data Center at the Brookhaven National Laboratory.The final stable element formed by all radioactive decay is lead (element number 82).
What is a parent and daughter element?
Parent and daughter in chemistry refer to radioactive decay, where a radioactive isotope of an element decays into another. For example, carbon-14 will beta-decay into nitrogen-14. The half-life associated with that particular process is about 5,700 years. The "parent" is carbon-14 and the "daughter" is nitrogen-14.
What kind of decay can change one element to another kind of element?
That would be radioactive decay.
What is the breakdown of a radioactive isotope of the same element or of another element?
radioactive decay
Alpha decay and beta decay are two forms of radioactive decay that cause .?
Transmutation, which is the change of atoms from one element to another.
What does a radioactive element decay to form?
It turns into another element.
Can one element change into a different element?
Yes, but only if it is radioactive. Radioactive elements change into different elements through radioactive decay.
Radioactive decay occurs when?
When a radioactive element slowly turns into another element/s when it emits various particles.
What is the only way to change one element into a different element?
through radioactive decay
When an atom undergoes radioactive decay does it become a different element?
That depends on the type of decay, alpha and beta decay change the atom into a different element but gamma decay does not.
What is meant by a radioactive element?
A radioactive element is an element that readily undergoes nuclear decay - the nucleus spontaneously emits subatomic particles as the element changes into another element.
The process by which one element naturally changes into another is called?
It is radioactive decay.
When elements are formed by another element why is it dangerous?
The process where an element turns to another is radioactive decay, and exposure to radioactivity is dangerous.
Can the atomic number change over time?
No. The atomic number of an element never changes. It is the number of protons and it defines the element. In certain types of radioactive decay, the number of protons can change, but then it is no longer the same (parent) element, but rather is a new (daughter) element.
