Is it true that a stable radioactive isotope called the parent will decay and form daughter products?
1. All the radioactive isotopes are unstable ! 2. Yes, it is true, the parent isotope (radioactive and unstable) decay and form daughter products.
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.
Is it true that The length of time required for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample to decay is its period?
It's period of half of decay.
Radioactive decay do not involve electrons?
Radioactive decay may or may not involve electrons. There are different types of radioactive decay.
When an isotope is blank it does not undergo radioactive decay?
when an isotope is it does not undergo radioactive decay

Is it true that the half-life of a radioactive isotope decreases as the isotopes decay?
no, halflife is a constant for each isotope's decay process.
Is it true that The length of time required for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample to decay is its period?
It's period of half of decay.
Radioactive decay do not involve electrons?
Radioactive decay may or may not involve electrons. There are different types of radioactive decay.
When radioactive isotopes break down into other elements the process is called?
radioactive decay
How is the radioactive decay of Krypton different from the radioactive decay of Americium?
The radioactive decay of americium 241 is by alpha disintegration; the disintegration of radioactive krypton isotopes is by beta particles emission.
When an isotope is blank it does not undergo radioactive decay?
when an isotope is it does not undergo radioactive decay
What is lost during radioactive decay?
Decay energy is the energy that has been freed during radioactive decay. When radioactive decay is ongoing it drops off some energy by means of discharging radiation.
What are advantages of radioactive decay?
One reason is that radioactive decay heats the earths interior
