What is nuclei that has unstable decay known as?
Atomic nuclei that are unstable and decaying are said to be radioactive. Radioactive decay involves alpha, beta and gamma particle emissions.
Process by which unstable nuclei lose energy?
Radioactive decay
Unstable atomic nuclei decay over time into stable nuclei causing a mineral to be?
radioactive
Radioactive materials have unstable?
It's Nuclei, the past answers are wrong.
How do nuclear atoms differ from regular atoms?
All atoms are nuclear, in that they all have nuclei. Some atoms have unstable nuclei, making them radioactive. I'm afraid I have no idea what you mean by "nuclear atoms," unless you meant to say radioactive atoms, in which case the answer is "they have unstable nuclei and they're radioactive."
What is a nucleus that is unstable and undergoes decay?
Atomic nuclei that are unstable and decaying are said to be radioactive. Radioactive decay involves alpha, beta and gamma particle emissions.
What is the spontaneous process through which unstable nuclei emit radiation?
Radioactive decay or radioactivity
Will unstable nuclei all undergo radioactive decay in order to gain stability?
Yes
What term indicates the process in which unstable nuclei releases radiation?
The term is "radioactive decay".
Where do the two neutrons and two neutrons that consist on alpha particle come from?
they come from the nuclei of an unstable atom.
What is the difference between radioactive and non radioactive materials?
Radioactive substances are unstable as a result of the extra neutrons present in the nuclei of the substance. Non radioactive substances are stable.
Why radioactive materials are unstable?
Radioactive metals are unstable as their nuclei is large and do not have a strong binding force as the smaller elements. If a neutron is collided onto a radioactive nuclei, they split into smaller atoms like Uranium splits into Barium and Krypton. Since they are unstable, they have a half life of varying times which range from the age of the earth to nanoseconds for recently discovered elements
