What our daughter isotopes?
"Daughter isotopes" are called the decay products of an radioactive isotope.
When an isotope is it is called radioactive?
Some isotopes are radioactive, some are not.
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 important of decay chain in isotopes?
In nuclear science, the decay chain refers to the radioactive decay of different discrete radioactive decay products as a chained series of transformations. Most radioactive elements do not decay directly to a stable state, but rather undergo a series of decays until eventually a stable isotope is reached.Decay stages are referred to by their relationship to previous or subsequent stages. A parent isotope is one that undergoes decay to form a daughter isotope. The daughter isotope may be stable or it may decay to form a daughter isotope of its own. The daughter of a daughter isotope is sometimes called a granddaughter isotope.
What is the processes where an unstable parent isotope becomes a stable daughter isotope called?
Succesive radioactive disintegrations in a radioactive series.

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 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.
The time required for half of a sample of a radioactive isotope to break down by radioactive decay to form a daughter isotope.?
its called Half-Time...
What is an isotope that gives off radiation which begins with radio.?
I'm pretty sure they are called radioactive isotopes.
The isotopes often called Thorium B and Thorium D are actually isotopes of what other element?
Thorium B is 212Pb: radioactive isotope of lead. Thorium D is 208Pb: stable isotope of lead.
What is the time needed for half of a radioactive isotope to break down to form daughter isotope?
It's called "half life".
. Describe in a few sentences how scientists use radioactivity to determine the age of a rock.?
Scientists use radioactivity to determine the age of a rock through a process called radiometric dating. They measure the amount of radioactive isotopes present in the rock and the rate at which they decay into stable isotopes. By comparing the ratio of parent isotope to daughter isotope, scientists can calculate the age of the rock based on the known half-life of the radioactive isotope.
