What is an unstable isotope?
Unstable isotopes are radioactive isotopes, can disintegrate and emit radiations.
An unstable isotope with extra energy in the nucleus?
A radio-isotope.
When an isotope is blank it is radioactive?
When an isotope is unstable, it is said to be radioactive.
When a unstable isotope decays the daughter isotope that result is always a stable isotope true or false?
false
What is the difference between a stable isotope and a unstable isotope?
A stable isotope does not decay and therefore, maintains a constant concentration on Earth. An unstable isotope, also known as a radioactive isotope, decays at a predictable and measurable rate on Earth. An unstable isotope may decay by the ejection of an electron or positron, known as beta decay, or by the ejection of two protons and two neutrons, known as alpha decay.

What is another term for an atom that is unstable?
isotope
When an unstable isotope decays the daughter isotope that results is always a stable isotope true or false?
Technically the answer is false, however the answer most tests accept as the correct answer is True.According to Nuclear theory when a parent undergoes decay and produces a daughter isotope the daughter may be stable or it may be unstable and further decay until a final stable granddaughter isotope is formed. This process is called a decay chain, however since eventually a stable isotope is formed the acceptable answer is True, even though technically it is not the case.
What do isotope and half life have in common?
Each (unstable) isotope has a distinctive half-life.
What is isotope and radio isotope?
Isotopes are atoms of a particular element with different numbers of neutrons. A radio isotope is an isotope that is radioactive because the nucleus is unstable.
Which subatomic particle identifies an isotope?
The number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
What is nuclear isotopes?
A radioactive isotope is a form of an element that is unstable and eventually decays into a different element. For example, most Carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, and is stable. This is called Carbon12.Carbon14 with 6 protons and 8 neutrons, is unstable and decays by releasing a beta particle from its nucleus to become a stable isotope, Nitrogen14. which has 7 protons and 7 neutrons.That refers to an isotope that is unstable - the atoms will decay after a while.
