False- the period is the horizontal row the element is in
Radium-226 does not decay by beta decay. It decays by alpha decay to radon-222.

The equation for the beta decay of 87Kr is: 3687Kr --> 3787Rb + -10e where -10e represents a negative beta particle or electron.
As time passes - as the graph goes more and more to the right, usually - the graph will get closer and closer to the horizontal axis.
False- the period is the horizontal row the element is in
Decay constant and half life are mathematically related. One cannot change without the other changing, so - no - an isotope's decay constant cannot change.Do not confuse this with the fact that isotopes form other isotopes as they decay, and those other isotopes might have different half lives, so the gross observation of total activity may seem to indicate a change in rate - the reality is still no - the decay constant of a particular isotope does not change.
Since the atomic number of Sr is less than 90, Sr undergoes beta decay. Beta decay is when the element decays into another element and a neutron actually breaks apart (sort of) into an electron and proton; the proton attaches to the other element, but the electron stays alone. Thus: 90------>90 Y+e0-1 38 Sr--->39 Y+e *there should only be one e, and the 0 and -1 should be in front, just like with the elements, but the format deletes the extra spaces so i put it like that for clarity's sake. sorry!
gamma decay beta decay alpha decay
I believe relative decay is the decay over time.
The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.
The natural isotope 227Ac decay: - by beta minus decay: to 227Th - by alpha decay: to 223Fr
