What else can I help you with?
When radioactive isotopes break down into other elements the process is called?
radioactive decay
What term indicates the process in which unstable nuclide release radiation?
If it is related to Nuclear studies, then the answer would be fusion.
What kind of process is radioactive decay?
It is a nuclear process.
Does the process of radioactive decay fall under the study of chemistry or physics or is it a combination of both?
Radioactive decay falls under chemistry, because the chemical properties of the substance are changed during radioactive decay.
What is an autoradiolysis?
An autoradiolysis is the process of radiolysis of a radioactive compound resulting from its own radioactive decay.
What is an unstable nucleus that starts a decay process called?
A nucleus that starts to decay is called a radioactive nucleus or atom. It decays with a known and unique half life by several processes including but not limited to beta decay, alpha decay, electron capture decay, and positron emission.
What kinetics does radioactive decay obey?
Radioactive decay follows first-order kinetics, meaning the rate of decay is proportional to the amount of radioactive material present. This means that half-life remains constant throughout the decay process.
Process by which unstable nuclei lose energy?
Radioactive decay
Process atoms use to become stable?
Radioactive decay
What is another way to age a fossil?
By radioactive decay process.
What are the properties of radioactive decay?
Radioactive decay has the following properties: 1. No element can completely decay. 2. The number of atoms decaying in a particular period is proportional to the number of atoms present in the beginning of that period. 3. Estimate of radioactive decay can be made by half life and decay constant of a radioactive element.
Is spontaneous fusion a form of radioactive decay?
No, the fusion process is the opposite of the radioactive decay process. Fusion is the merging together of nuclei to form a heavier nucleus whereas fission or radioactive decay is the splitting apart of a heavy nucleus into lighter daughter nuclei.
