Are radioactive reactions redox reaction?
Radioactive reaction is a red-ox reaction. This is a nuclear decay.
Are valence electrons only found in radioactive isotopes?
No. Nuclear reactions are not chemical reactions. They involve changes to the nucleus of the atom, such as radioactive decay.
Does atomic mass stay the same?
The atomic mass of a radioactive atoms is changed during the radioactive decay (alpha decay, neutron decay, proton decay, double proton decay), spontaneous or artificial fission, nuclear reactions.
Why wouldn't heating radioactive uranium make it decay faster?
The thermal energy is minimal compared to nuclear energy; and the radioactive decay is not a thermodynamic process - it is nuclear physics process.
What is the process by which an unstable isotope will emit nuclear radiation until it has a stable number of protons and neutrons called?
radioactive decay
What is the transformation of uranium?
- radioactive decay - nuclear fission - nuclear reactions
Types of nuclear reactions are?
There are four types of nuclear reactions. Fusion Fission Radioactive Decay Artificial Transmutation
What happens to the nucleus?
Nuclear reactions, radioactive decay, natural fission
Are radioactive reactions redox reaction?

Is radioactive decay and nuclear decay the same?
yep, sure are
Why is radium warm?
Radium is a warm as a consequence of energy release by nuclear reactions - radioactive decay with the emission of alpha, beta and gamma rays.
Is Radioactive decay a nuclear reaction?
yes
What is it called when atoms are unstable and undergo a nuclear decay?
radioactive decay
Can a sample of matter change its composition or state?
For chemical reactions, the elements in a sealed vessel will not change. But, reactions can take place that would tend to take the sample to a state of equilibrium. Or, with heating or cooling the physical state can be changed.Another type of reaction is nuclear decay, in which radioactive substances will spontaneously decay to other radioactive substances, or decay to non-radioactive substances, thus actually changing the elements present.
What causes nuclear decay?
The instability of the nuclei is the basic cause of radioactive decay.
