An unstable isotope with extra energy in the nucleus?
A radio-isotope.
When an isotope is blank it is radioactive?
When an isotope is unstable, it is said to be radioactive.
When a unstable isotope decays the daughter isotope that result is always a stable isotope true or false?
false
What is the difference between a stable isotope and a unstable isotope?
A stable isotope does not decay and therefore, maintains a constant concentration on Earth. An unstable isotope, also known as a radioactive isotope, decays at a predictable and measurable rate on Earth. An unstable isotope may decay by the ejection of an electron or positron, known as beta decay, or by the ejection of two protons and two neutrons, known as alpha decay.
What is isotope and radio isotope?
Isotopes are atoms of a particular element with different numbers of neutrons. A radio isotope is an isotope that is radioactive because the nucleus is unstable.

What is another term for an atom that is unstable?
isotope
What do isotope and half life have in common?
Each (unstable) isotope has a distinctive half-life.
What is isotope and radio isotope?
Isotopes are atoms of a particular element with different numbers of neutrons. A radio isotope is an isotope that is radioactive because the nucleus is unstable.
Is carbon 13 unstable?
No, it is a natural stable isotope.
Hydrogen has how many unstable isotopes?
Hydrogen has 1 unstable isotope, and 2 stable isotopes.
What best describes a radioisotope?
its nucleus is unstable
Are All isotope unstable?
Not all isotopes are unstable. But now more than 3 000 unstable isotopes are known, artificial or natural.
What is An unstable isotope is called what?
It isn't really an ELEMENT that is unstable, but an ISOTOPE. That means that in general, for the same element, some atoms will decay, and some will not - the difference being the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
