What is the stable isotope that is formed by the breakdown of a radioactive isotope?

That's called a daughter isotope, or a daughter product. (The original isotope that decayed is the parent isotope.)

What does it mean if a isotope is stable?
It means that it does not decay by emitting radioactive paticles.
Would an atom with 60 protons and a mass number of 155 be stable?
The isotope 155Nd is non stable (radioactive); his half life is 8,9 seconds.
Is europium radioactive?
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.
Why does decay chain for radioisotope U-238 eventually stop at lead?
The isotope of lead formed is stable. No other isotope in that decay chain is.
Does carbon behave chemically the same even when radioactive?
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)
What is the breakdown of a radioactive isotope into a stable isotope?
it must eject the extra nucleons and should be conveted into a stable isotope.
What is the slow breakdown of radioactive substances into more stable elements?
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.
How is radioactive Isotope different from a stable isotope?
The radioactive isotope is disintegrated in time and emit radiations.
How is a radioactive isotope different from a stable isotope?
The radioactive isotope is disintegrated in time and emit radiations.
What is a stable isotope?
Stable isotopes are chemical isotopes that are not radioactive, meaning that they do not spontaneously undergo radioactive decay.
What is the stable produced by the radioactive decay of a parent isotope?
daughter isotope
Is an isotope formed in a nuclear reaction likely to be radioactive?
Not necessarily. The fusion reactions in the sun produce primarily helium-4 which is stable.
What is the processes where an unstable parent isotope becomes a stable daughter isotope called?
Succesive radioactive disintegrations in a radioactive series.
If you had a stable element 115 could you then have an isotope of it that would be non-radioactive?
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.
Is Cs a radioactive element?
No, it has only one stable isotope.
Is an isotope sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride is a chemical compound not an isotope. But:- natural sodium contain the rare radioactive isotope 22Na and the stable isotope 23Na- natural chlorine contain the rare radioactive isotope 36Cl and the stable isotopes 35Cl and 37Cl
Can a radioactive element completely decay so that it is all stable matter?
A radioactive element (atom) can decay up to a stable isotope.
