When a unstable isotope decays the daughter isotope that result is always a stable isotope true or false?
false
Is it true that a stable radioactive isotope called the parent will decay and form daughter products?
1. All the radioactive isotopes are unstable ! 2. Yes, it is true, the parent isotope (radioactive and unstable) decay and form daughter products.
What is an unstable isotope?
Unstable isotopes are radioactive isotopes, can disintegrate and emit radiations.
When an unstable isotope decays the daughter isotope that results is always a stable isotope true or false?
Technically the answer is false, however the answer most tests accept as the correct answer is True.According to Nuclear theory when a parent undergoes decay and produces a daughter isotope the daughter may be stable or it may be unstable and further decay until a final stable granddaughter isotope is formed. This process is called a decay chain, however since eventually a stable isotope is formed the acceptable answer is True, even though technically it is not the case.
An unstable isotope with extra energy in the nucleus?
A radio-isotope.

When an isotope decays over time and becomes a different element what is it called?
Daughter Elements
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.
Nuclear decay is the change of an atom of...?
... an unstable isotope to a more stable isotope by emission of some type of radiation (alpha, beta, or gamma).
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 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.
