What is the disintegration rate of radioactive elements?
It varies from one element to another. It is measured in terms of its half-life. A half-life is the length of time it takes for half the number of radioactive atoms of the element in a lump to decay.
Is this true radioactivity and radioactive decay are two distinct phenomena?
True and False. Radioactivity is a characteristic of unstable atomic nuclei, whereas radioactive decay is the process that a radioactive nucleus undergoes when it decays due to its instability.Argument for true: Radioactivity is the tendency to undergo radioactive decay.Argument for false: The two terms are unrelated because one is a characteristic and the other is a process, and, therefore, the question misunderstands the definition of the terms.You choose your definition. This writer prefers false.
Nucleus located in terms of the atom?
it is a gun
How the tRNA docks on the mRNAexplain in terms of nitrogen bases?
nucleus
What terms refers to the combination of DNA and proteins in the cell nucleus?
chromatin
Which of these terms describes the smallest particle of an element that has all the properties of that element?
A molecule.

What does mt mean in science terms?
Your question is a bit vague, as "science terms" is a broad category. However, let's start with the simplest answer: Mt is the symbol for Meitnerium, a synthetic radioactive element.
Which element is thousands time greater than uranium?
It is not clear what "greater" means. In terms of atomic number (number of protons in the nucleus) there is not even an element which is twice as great.
Where is the neutron found?
There are many parts to every element on Earth, whether living or not. In terms of an atom the neutron is located in the center or nucleus of the atom.
How are elements identified in terms of their of their atoms?
Each atom of one specific element has the same number of protons. For example, Helium has 1 proton in every atom's nucleus. To find how many protons are in an elements atoms nucleus, look at the elements atomic number on the Periodic Table.
Is curium endothermic or exothermic?
The terms exothermic and endothermic are applicable to chemical or physical reactions, not to materials. But because curium is an radioactive element, of course some thermal radiation is emitted.
Is this true radioactivity and radioactive decay are two distinct phenomena?

How is the vocabluary terms isotope and nucleus alike?
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
What is most of an atom made of?
In terms of weight, the major proportion consists of protons and netrons which are found in the nucleus. In terms of volume, electrons which surround the nucleus in a cloud.
What terms describes?
secondary xylem
