How nuclear decay rates different from chemical reaction rates?
nuclear decay rates take more time and chemical reaction rates could happen fast.
Which statement describes the differences between chemical reactions and nuclear decay rates?
Nuclear decay rates vary, but chemical reaction rates are constant
What is the meaning of rater?
One who rates or estimates., One who rates or scolds.
Are the dates assigned to earth and its prehistoric remains only estimates?
Yes, the dates assigned to Earth and its prehistoric remains are estimates based on various dating methods like radiometric dating. These estimates can have a margin of error due to factors such as sample contamination and decay rates, making them approximate rather than exact.
Are the decay rates of carbon-14 constant and predictable?
Nuclear decay in general is not predictable
Which of the following statements is true Chemical reaction rates vary with the conditions of the change but nuclear rates do not Nuclear decay rates vary with the condition?
Nuclear decay rates do not vary with the conditions of the change; they are constant for a given isotope. On the other hand, chemical reaction rates can vary with conditions such as temperature, pressure, and the presence of catalysts.
Which factors have the greatest influence of radioctive decay?
The two main factors influencing radioactive decay are the type of radioactive isotope being used and the half-life of the isotope. Different isotopes decay at different rates, with shorter half-lives leading to quicker decay. Other factors like temperature and pressure can also influence decay rates to a lesser extent.
No two radioisotopes will decay at the same rate?
This statement is correct. All radioisotopes decay at separate rates. They are unique and are not altered by chemical compounds.
Radiometric dating is possible because the rates of decay of radioactive isotopes .?
Are constant
What measures rates of decay and estimates how long an organism has been dead.?
Radio carbon dating
Are nuclear decay rates constant?
Yes, for any specific isotope they are fixed constant.
Do all radioactive isotopes follow the half-life single rate or are there those that decay at multiple rates throughout their decay?
In general, a radioactive substance decays at a constant rate throughout time. That is not to say that the same number of decays occur per unit time. They cannot, and this is because the sample is shrinking as radioactive decay "claims" more and more of it. The decays per second is decreasing. But the rate of decay remains constant. There are some instances where slight changes in decay rates of a couple of different radioactive substances occur when we put them in extreme magnetic fields. But, by and large, the decay rates of radionuclides are constant. Additionally, we've gone to great lengths in an attempt to induce changes in the decay rates of a number of radionuclides, but they've proved themselves sublimely resistant to any manipulation by the likes of us, even as clever as we are.
