they release energy, which comes out from co2/carbon dioxide. Then they also release a form of gas, which i do not have a name for right now, but yes they do release energy, and c02 which is carbon dioxide.

∙ 12y agoUnstable nuclei "decay" by emitting particles and photons of energy. These can vary considerably by process:
- Alpha particles are helium-nuclei, two protons and two neutron, and their emission causes the element (nuclide) to change.
- Beta particles are electrons or positrons, which affect the charge of the atoms, as neutrons become protons or vice versa. This also causes a change in the atomic number, hence the element.
- Proton or neutron emission other than in nucleus fission.
- Gamma rays are energetic photons that carry away energy.
- Neutrinos and anti-neutrinos are nearly-massless particles that carry away energy.

What happens when an atom loses an electron to another atom?
The atom that gains electron becomes an anion. The atom that loses electron becomes a cation.
What happens when electron jump from atom to atom?
It will absorb or emit energy, according to the difference in the corresponding energy levels.
What happens when there are too many electrons?
If there are excess electrons in an atom, the atom is likely to be ionized; that is, the stom will emit the electrons.
What happens if a nuclear chain reaction is not controlled?
The reactor fuel would overheat, melt, and fall apart.
An atom of 134 84 PO decays by alpha decay Which atom is left after the decay?
130 on the top Pb on the left 82 on the bottom
What is the term for an atom the decays?
unstable, radioactive
What do you call a atom that decays?
An atom whose nucleus decays over time is called radioactive. Some examples of radioactive substances are uranium, plutonium, and einsteinium.
What is it called when an atom decays and become another element?
Radioactivity
Which particle is emitted when an atom OF 85Kr spontaneously decays?
a beta particle
An excited atom decays to it's ground state and emits a proton of green light if instead the atom decays to an intermediate state what could the light emitted be?
If an atom that emits a green proton when it decays to its ground state decays to an intermediate state instead it will emit a proton that is yellow/orange/red. The reason is that it will be a lower energy proton emitted and lower energy waves correspond to longer wavelengths like the ones that make up these colors.
What new atom is formed as tritium decays?
Tritium decay to helium-3.
What happens when radioactive element decays?
Carbon gets released
What happens when a beta decays?
Every one comes in Tension..!
What happens after a mummy was mummified?
It was wrapped and left to dry
What happens when an organism decays?
other organisms eat it away
When a uranium atom 92u235 decays radioactivity to became protactinium 91u231 the radiation emitted are?
entropy
What happens to the amount of nitrogen14 as the carbon14 decays?
Remains the same
