A disintegration series is the pathway of a radioactively unstable element into a stable element. The pathway alters the atomic number of the element and converts the element into another element. A common one is the uranium disintegration series.

What is the name for the emission of rays and particles by a radioactive material?
The name for the emissions of rays and particles by a radioactive material are called radioactive decay. There are many different types of radioactive decay that emit different rays and particles.
What is highly radioactive ore?
Minerals like uraninite and carnotite are highly radioactive ores of uranium.
How do you use radioactive as an adjective in a sentence?
You can just put something in the sentence that is going to be radioactive that's all.
Heaviest element that is highly radioactive?
The heaviest element that is highly radioactive is Ununoctium, which has an atomic number of 118.
What planets and celestial bodies seem to be radioactive?
Stars seem to be, but they don't have big and/or unstable atoms such as most radioactive elements have. They release sub atomic units when their atoms fuse, along with rays such as gamma rays, which is why they can seem to be similar to other radioactive things. Some planets with atmostpheres that are ionised by ionising rays can also be similar to radioactive things perhaps.
How is the radioactive decay of Krypton different from the radioactive decay of Americium?
The radioactive decay of americium 241 is by alpha disintegration; the disintegration of radioactive krypton isotopes is by beta particles emission.
Is conversion by radioactive decay a chemical reaction?
No. It is a nuclear reaction - radioactive disintegration.
What made up all radioactive elements?
After disintegration all radioactive elements are transformed in other elements.
What is francium because it breaks down and gives off particles and energy?
Francium is a radioactive element supporting radioactive disintegration.
What is it when naturally unstable elements realize particles?
This phenomenon is called radioactive disintegration.
The rate at which radioactive isotopes emit energy called?
This the decay (disintegration) rate.
How do some nuclei change?
Atomic nuclei are changed by nuclear reactions or radioactive disintegration.
What is a stable isotope?
Stable isotopes are chemical isotopes that are not radioactive, meaning that they do not spontaneously undergo radioactive decay.
Is helium found in solid earth?
Yes; helium appear from radioactive disintegration of uranium or thorium.
In a nuclear disintegration the particle that is ejected may be?
It is smaller than the original atom and is possibly radioactive.
What is a process in which radium atoms spontaneously disintegrate without outside forces?
Radioactive disintegration (or decay)
Why does francium explode instantly?
Francium don't explode instantly; probably a confusion with the radioactive disintegration.
