What is the processes where an unstable parent isotope becomes a stable daughter isotope called?
Succesive radioactive disintegrations in a radioactive series.
When an isotope is blank it is radioactive?
When an isotope is unstable, it is said to be radioactive.
How is a radioactive isotope different from a stable isotope?
The radioactive isotope is disintegrated in time and emit radiations.
When a radioactive isotope decays it gives off energy and produces a product called?
Another isotope is produced.
When an isotope is blank it does not undergo radioactive decay?
when an isotope is it does not undergo radioactive decay
What is the stable isotope that is formed by the breakdown of a radioactive isotope?
That's called a daughter isotope, or a daughter product. (The original isotope that decayed is the parent isotope.)
What is the processes where an unstable parent isotope becomes a stable daughter isotope called?
Succesive radioactive disintegrations in a radioactive series.
The time required for half of a sample of a radioactive isotope to break down by radioactive decay to form a daughter isotope.?
its called Half-Time...
When an isotope is blank it is radioactive?
When an isotope is unstable, it is said to be radioactive.
What is an unstable atom that emits energy called?
This is a radioactive isotope.

when an isotope is it does not undergo radioactive decay
What property of a radioactive isotope is the length of time it takes half of the nuclei to decay?
This is called the "half-life" of the isotope.
What is An unstable isotope is called what?
It isn't really an ELEMENT that is unstable, but an ISOTOPE. That means that in general, for the same element, some atoms will decay, and some will not - the difference being the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
What is the time needed for half of a radioactive isotope to break down to form daughter isotope?
It's called "half life".
