The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine (officially Ukrainian SSR), which was under the direct jurisdiction of the central Moscow's authorities. An explosion and fire released large quantities of radioactive contamination into the atmosphere, which spread over much of Western USSR and Europe. It is considered the worst nuclear power plant accident in history, and is one of only two classified as a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale (the other being the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster).[1] The battle to contain the contamination and avert a greater catastrophe ultimately involved over 500,000 workers and cost an estimated 18 billion rubles, crippling the Soviet economy.

What elements came out of chernobyl?
See link below for a good article on Chernobyl.
What types of elements are useful for dating materials?
Radioactive elements are used to date the age of rocks. Radioactive elements decay according to a known pattern. Scientists can use the elements of that pattern to determine when the rock with the original radioactive element was formed.
What are radioactive elements on the periodic table?
In general, the elements with higher atomic numbers are the most radioactive and they are found at the bottom of the Periodic Table of Elements
What characterizes a radioactive element?
As radioactive element is an element that is on the Priodic Table of Elements. A Radioactive Element is usually radioactive.
What 3 families contain no radioactive elements?
All periodic table groups contain elements with radioactive isotopes.
What elements came out of chernobyl?
See link below for a good article on Chernobyl.
Radioactive pollution When it happened in chernobyl?
It happened on 26 April 1986
Radioactive elements comprise a majority?
Yes. Stable elements are 83 elements. all elements above that of atomic number 83 (Bismuth) are radioactive. Radioactive isotopes are of the order of 1500 radioactive isotope.
Do trace elements have to be radioactive?
No, trace elements are not necessarily radioactive. A link to a list of elements that have no natural radioactive isotopes is at a related question, below.
What made up all radioactive elements?
After disintegration all radioactive elements are transformed in other elements.
Are all transition elements are radioactive?
Not all of the transition elements are radioactive. Many of them are, and some of them have common radioactive isotopes, but some of them have no naturally occurring radioactive isotopes. Please note that all elements have synthetic radioactive isotopes, at least.
The pressure and heat that produces magma are caused in part by?
Radioactive elements
What families have no radioactive elements?
Radioactive elements exist in all groups of the periodic table.
The disaster at Chernobyl has led to?
The disaster at Chernobyl led to the evacuation of people from the area due to dangerous radioactivity readings. Chernobyl is now an abandoned City and the wildlife around the area collect high levels of radioactive particles.
What element family have no radioactive elements?
Radioactive elements exist in all groups of the periodic table.
What elements are radioactive?
Answerelements with a nonstable isotope or at least one naturally occurring isotope that is radioactive. AnswerAll elements have radioactive isotopes.There are a lot of radioactive elements: Technetium, Promethium, Polonium, Astatine, Radon, Francium...Here is the whole list: http://periodictable.com/Elements/Radioactive
Can one element change into a different element?
Yes, but only if it is radioactive. Radioactive elements change into different elements through radioactive decay.
