What is an unstable atom?
An unstable atom is a radioactive atom.
True or false unstable atom that decomposes and emits energy is called retroactive?
No, it's called "radioactive." "Retroactive" is something that's active in regards to the past.
What is the difference between an atom of carbon and atom of uranium?
The usual Carbon-12 is not radioactive. Uranium is radioactive. Radioactive means that the atom splits and spits out some energy or matter (with matter, the atom changes to another atom). Luckily, all the atoms don't split at once.
Is radioactive radiation an element compound homogeneous mixture or heterogeneous mixture?
Hydrogen is an element.
When an atom undergoes radioactive decay the energy released in the reaction comes from what?
The energy that comes from the radioactive decay of an atom can come from the electrons and can come from the strong force inside the nucleus.
When radioactive decay occurs a atom is always produced by the action?
During any type of radioactive decay, one isotope (type of atom) will convert into a different isotope.
Are synthetic elements radioactive?
Synthetic elements are usually radioactive, but not necessarily so. It is conceivable for a non-radioactive neutral atom to be produced by a nuclear spallation reaction.
What is produced directly from the splitting of water?
Splitting water results in oxygen and hydrogen. The water element is separated into two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
If a substance is radioactive is its compound radioactive?
Yes. A radioactive atom is a radioactive atom. If that atom exists as a single atom and is uncombined and it is radioactive, it's radioactive. If that same atom is chemically combined with another or other atoms, it's still radioactive. It's just that simple.
What is a process in which nuclei of radioactive atoms are split?
process of an atom splitting into pieces because he has not any other about this thing
When was the bomb discovered?
First the radioactive material and split the atom. So it is not a discovery is was hard work.
What radioactive material is used in the construction of the atom bomb?
their is no radioactive material in the construction of any bomb its just a bunch of atoms creating friction and being so excited that they explode in a devistating amount of force.
What is produced energy?
Energy cannot be "produced", energy cannot be made or destroyed, though we can harvest energy from the wind, sun, fossil fuels and even from splitting an atom
How nuclear fusion and nuclear fission differ in terms of environmental hazards?
Nuclear fission involves splitting an atom and creates radioactive waste. Nuclear fusion involves bringing an atom together and creates no radiative waste
Fission is the splitting of an .?
Atom.
Why is atomic energy dangerous?
too much energy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and it can be radiactive
What is an unstable atom?
An unstable atom is a radioactive atom.
