What is the first radioactive element that forms when uranium 238 decays?
The isotope 234 Th.
When a radon 222 nucleus decays what is the other product that forms?
Radon-222 undergoes alpha decay to produce polonium-218as a daughter.
With the feedback system the transient response?
decays
How are heavier metals formed?
The heaviest of all elements are formed by bombardment of two ions into each other ( eg Zinc and Lead) which then forms a highly unstable heavy element that very rapidly decays into smaller elements.
What does bismuth 210 become when it undergoes alpha decay?
bismuth 210 decays by beta decay to polonium 210 that decays by alpha decay to lead 206
What are two different forms of radioactive decay?
Alpha and beta decays.
What is the dark oganic matter that forms in soil as plant and animal matter decays?
humus
What is the first radioactive element that forms when uranium 238 decays?
The isotope 234 Th.
When an iodine 131 atom decays by emitting a beta particle and a gamma particle it forms?
expon 131
Where does the plutonium come from?
Uranium 238 is bombarded by neutrons, and forms Neptunium 238. Neptunium decays to form Plutonium 238.
Where does the element plutonium come from?
Uranium 238 is bombarded by neutrons, and forms Neptunium 238. Neptunium decays to form Plutonium 238.
What is the positive charge of a neutron?
The question does not make sense. A neutron is neutral NOT positive. When a neutron decays, it forms a positively charged proton and a negatively charged electron and an antineutrino.
What type of radiation is emitted when carbon 14 is decays?
Carbon-14 decays by beta-, which emits a W- boson that immediately decays into an electron and an electron anti-neutrino.
When elements such as uranium and plutonium decay do they form different elements chemical reactions or larger compounds?
When an element "decays", it forms a different element. This is the definition of "decay" when referring to radioactive elements.
What it means when an element is radioactive?
Radioactive elements have unstable nucleii. When an unstable nucleus decays it emits energy in the form of electromagnetic waves and heavy particles and in the process forms new nucleii.
When a mineral spontaneously decays into subatomic particles it has this property?
When a mineral spontaneously decays into subatomic particles, it has this property
When a radon 222 nucleus decays what is the other product that forms?
Radon-222 undergoes alpha decay to produce polonium-218as a daughter.
