Compared to the half life and decay mode of the nuclide 90sr the nuclide 226ra has?
Compared to the half-life and decay mode of the nuclide (^{90}\text{Sr}), the nuclide (^{226}\text{Ra}) has a significantly longer half-life and a different decay mode. (^{90}\text{Sr}) has a half-life of about 28.8 years and primarily decays via beta decay to (^{90}\text{Y}). In contrast, (^{226}\text{Ra}) has a half-life of about 1,600 years and decays primarily through alpha decay to (^{222}\text{Rn}). This means that (^{226}\text{Ra}) is more stable and persists longer in the environment compared to (^{90}\text{Sr}).
The stability of a nuclide depends on the?
The stability of a nuclide depends on:the specific neutron/proton ratio that corresponds to a stable nucleus, and orthe number of protons not to exceed the stability limit (exceeding 83).Referring to question below for more information.
How does the half life of a nuclide relateto the stability of the nuclide?
The half-life of a nuclide is an indicator of its stability; shorter half-lives generally correspond to less stable nuclides that decay more rapidly, while longer half-lives indicate greater stability and slower decay processes. Stable nuclides have half-lives that can extend to billions of years, while unstable ones may have half-lives measured in seconds or minutes. Thus, a nuclide's half-life provides insight into its likelihood of undergoing radioactive decay over time.
Nuclide that have a high binding energy per nucleon are more?
Stable. The highest binding energy is for iron and nickel, which are the least likely to undergo fission or fusion reactions
What is the parent nuclide?
A parent nuclide is a radioactive isotope that undergoes decay to form one or more daughter nuclides. During this process, the parent nuclide transforms into a different element or a different isotope of the same element, releasing energy and radiation. The decay process can involve alpha, beta, or gamma radiation, and it plays a crucial role in nuclear reactions and radiometric dating. Understanding parent and daughter nuclides is essential in fields like nuclear physics, geology, and archaeology.
Is a parent isotope more radioactive then a daughter isotope?
The daughter isotope is the result of the radioactive disintegration of the parent isotope. For example radium is a product of the uranium disintegration.The two isotopes have different chemical (different atomic numbers, etc.), physical and nuclear properties.
The nuclide Sn is unstable what decay types would Sn be expected to undergo?
The nuclide Sn can undergo beta-minus decay, beta-plus decay, electron capture, or alpha decay, depending on its specific isotope. Each decay type involves the transformation of the nucleus to a more stable state by emitting different particles or radiation.
Do bananas have more sugar when ripe compared to when they are unripe?
Yes, bananas have more sugar when ripe compared to when they are unripe.
How much of the world WAS covered in forest compared to today?
compared to today, the world used to have 50% more forests compared to today, the world used to have 50% more forests
Nuclear decay is the change of an atom of...?
... an unstable isotope to a more stable isotope by emission of some type of radiation (alpha, beta, or gamma).
Why alpha emission occur first?
The question is unclear. First before what? More likely to occur? I am going to assume the latter... Alpha decay is more likely to occur, when both alpha and beta are possible, because alpha decay removes more binding energy from the nuclide, and the tendency is to reduce energy as quickly as possible.
Why are leaves smaller in the southwest compared to the Midwest?
Because there is more sunshine in the southwest as compared to the Midwest.
