It is called beta decay. there are two types:
1) posive beta decay in which atomic number decreases. 2) negative beta decay in which atomic number increases.

What are the radioactive elements with atomic number from 90 to 103 in the periodic table called?
Actinide Series.
What is An unstable isotope is called what?
It isn't really an ELEMENT that is unstable, but an ISOTOPE. That means that in general, for the same element, some atoms will decay, and some will not - the difference being the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
When an isotope is it is called radioactive?
Some isotopes are radioactive, some are not.
What is splitting of atomic nuclei?
FISSION. nobody on this website knows the answer..... SHAME
What word means unstable elements that decay?
The word Radioactive usually denotes a substance containing unstable atomic nuclei.
What elements that emit atomic particles are called?
radioactive elements
What are the radioactive elements with atomic number from 90 to 103 called?
The Actinides.
What are the radioactive elements with atomic number from 90 to 103 in the periodic table called?
Actinide Series.
What is the spontaneous breakdown of the atomic nucleus called?
We use the general term radioactive decay to identify the spontaneous breakdown of an atomic nucleus.
Which element is Atomic number- 112?
The element with an atomic number of 112 is called Copernicium. It is a synthetic, radioactive element that can only occur in a laboratory.
This is a high energy photon resulting from the redistribution of the charge within the nucleus?
The high energy photon that results from the redistribution of the charge within the nucleus is called a gamma ray. It refers to a penetrating electromagnetic radiation that arises from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei.
What is the time it takes for the amount of a radioactive parent material to decrease by one-half called?
half-life people
What is the process by which some substances spontaniously emit radiation?
All elements with an atomic number >83 are naturally radioactive
What is An unstable isotope is called what?
It isn't really an ELEMENT that is unstable, but an ISOTOPE. That means that in general, for the same element, some atoms will decay, and some will not - the difference being the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
What name is given to elements with an atomic number greater than 92?
They are called the trans-uranic elements. They are either synthetic or the rare product of radioactive decay.
Why you have never seen a nuclear reaction resulting in an atomic bomb-like explosion in nature?
You see it every day, it's called the sun:)
What are radioactive debris of uranium called?
Radioactive wastes
