That's called a daughter isotope, or a daughter product. (The original isotope that decayed is the parent isotope.)
It means that it does not decay by emitting radioactive paticles.
The isotope 155Nd is non stable (radioactive); his half life is 8,9 seconds.
Europium is radioactive, though for most practical purposes it can be treated as stable. 52.2% of europium is stable. 47.8%, is radioactive 151Eu, but the half life of this is long, at 5,000,000,000,000,000,000 years. Like all other elements, europium has radioactive synthetic isotopes.
yes it does. the chemical behavior of a radioactive isotope is essentially the same as that of the stable isotopes of an element. When you have the addition of a small quanity of radioactive isotope, it becomes a tracer, which traces molecular changes. (look up the Melvin Calvin experiment for more help)
daughter isotope
Succesive radioactive disintegrations in a radioactive series.
That's called a daughter isotope, or a daughter product. (The original isotope that decayed is the parent isotope.)
The radioactive isotope is disintegrated in time and emit radiations.
The radioactive isotope is disintegrated in time and emit radiations.
Stable isotopes are chemical isotopes that are not radioactive, meaning that they do not spontaneously undergo radioactive decay.
Radioactive elements break down in to stable isotopes through nuclear decay. The list of isotopes from a nuclear isotope to a stable isotope is called its decay chain.
it must eject the extra nucleons and should be conveted into a stable isotope.
radioactive decay
If you had a stable element 115, then by definition there would need to be at least one non-radioactive isotope. Stable elements are those that have at least one nonradioactive isotope. Of course, the other isotopes of the element could all be radioactive.
1. All the radioactive isotopes are unstable ! 2. Yes, it is true, the parent isotope (radioactive and unstable) decay and form daughter products.
No, it has only one stable isotope.
