A completley filled out electron level makes the atom stable
Nuclear reactions
Steal an electron from an atom of a different element.
A radioactive element (atom) can decay up to a stable isotope.
The atom that results from nuclear decay is called the daughter atom. The element of the daughter atom would be called the daughter element. The atom that decayed is called the parent.
atom and elements are different because one atom makes an element and a element is a pure substance and a atom is a basic particle
It depends on the atom. List what element the atom is from.
nuclear fission
A nuclear reaction in which an atom is bombarded with elementary particles or with a lighter atom.
no it is not stable bcoz if an atom needs to be stable it needs to have 8 electrons in the valency (outermost) shell,where as a krypton has only 2 in its valency electron.
That some atoms are not stable, and that they release mass from their nuclei to become other isotopes or elements. Until the process of fusion was understood, nuclear decay was the only known way for one element to become another element.
If an atom undergoes a reaction and attains a more stable form, you know if the reaction was a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction by studying what exactly happened to the atom.
