What is a process in which atomic nuclei of unstable isotopes release fast-moving particles and energy?
Radioactivity
What types of atoms release nuclear radiation?
Isotopes of elements with unstable nucleus release nuclear radiation. Generally theinstabilityis related to the neutron to proton ratio in the nucleus of an atom.
What is the origin of nuclear energy?
There are two major types of nuclear energy, fusion and fission. Fusion comes from hydrogen nuclei sticking together in the hearts of stars, which liberates energy. Fission energy comes from the splitting of heavy nuclei. A third type of nuclear energy comes from the slow decay of unstable isotopes, most generally through the release of alpha or beta particles. Both of these are the result of a transmutation of the isotope. Fissionable isotopes are produced naturally in supernova.
What is the release of light energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy?
"phosphorescence"Scattering is the release of light energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy. The transfer of energy carried by light waves to particles of matter is absorption.
How can energy be transformed from heat to nuclear?
By nuclear fusion, a hot plasma of hydrogen isotopes will convert to helium and release energy
What is a process in which atomic nuclei of unstable isotopes release fast-moving particles and energy?
Radioactivity
A process in which atomic nuclei of unstable isotopes release fast-moving particles and energy?
Nuclear fission
What term indicates the process in which unstable nuclide release radiation?
If it is related to Nuclear studies, then the answer would be fusion.
Do stable atoms release nuclear particles?
No. If they did, they would be radioactive and unstable.
What do unstable isotopes become when they decay?
stable nuclei are formed, usually accompanied by the release of Alpha, Beta, Gamma radiation.
What is it when naturally unstable elements release particles from the nuclei and give off heat?
It is called radioactivity.
What types of atoms release nuclear radiation?
Isotopes of elements with unstable nucleus release nuclear radiation. Generally theinstabilityis related to the neutron to proton ratio in the nucleus of an atom.
Unstable atomic nuclei that release fast particles and energy are?

What process do particles of matter release energy?
When it reaches its boiling point.
Which process do particles of matter release energy?
There are two main processes where particles of matter release energy. These two processes are known as freezing and condensation.

What changes in a radioactive material to make it emit radiation?
Due to unstable atomic structures (or a weak nuclear force), radioactive materials release alpha particles as radiation.
