radio-isotopes
What else can I help you with?
An element with a number of neutrons different from its normal number is called a what?
It is called an isotope.
What is the stable isotope produced by radioactive decay is called?
The stable isotope produced by radioactive decay is called a daughter isotope.
What is the stable isotope that is formed by the breakdown of a radioactive isotope?
The stable isotope formed by the breakdown of a radioactive isotope is called a daughter isotope. This process is known as radioactive decay, where a radioactive isotope transforms into a stable daughter isotope through the emission of particles or energy.
What is an atom called when the number of neutron changes?
An atom with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope of the original element. Isotopes have the same number of protons (and thus the same element) but different numbers of neutrons.
When a radioactive isotope decays it gives off energy and produces a product called?
Another isotope is produced.
An isotope with mass number 44 has four more neutrons than protons?
The isotope has 20 protons and 24 neutrons. This isotope is called calcium-44, and it is a stable isotope of calcium.
What is the processes where an unstable parent isotope becomes a stable daughter isotope called?
The process where an unstable parent isotope becomes a stable daughter isotope is called radioactive decay. During this process, the parent isotope undergoes a series of transformations, such as alpha or beta decay, emitting particles or energy until it reaches a stable state as a daughter isotope.
What property of a radioactive isotope is the length of time it takes half of the nuclei to decay?
This is called the "half-life" of the isotope.
What is the time it takes for half of an isotope's atoms to decay?
The time it takes for half of an isotope's atoms to decay is called the half-life. It is a characteristic property of each isotope and can vary greatly depending on the specific isotope.
What is the term for the element that a radioactive isotope decay into?
The term for the element that a radioactive isotope decays into is called the "daughter product". During radioactive decay, the original isotope transforms into a different element or isotope through a series of decay reactions.
What is the stable isotope called?
Each isotope, stable or unstable, has a specific symbol; for example K-40 for potassium 40.
What is the time needed for half of a radioactive isotope to break down to form daughter isotope?
It's called "half life".
