What is a nonradioactive material?
A non-radioactive element is an element that has at least 1 isotope that is not radioactive. The means that at least one isotope has a stable nucleus that does not break down by shooting off high-energy particles.
Which are unstable elements that decay or break down into different elements?
Radioactive
When an unstable isotope breaks down but doesn't change to another element the atomic number always?
The atomic number is unchanged.
What is the time needed for half of a radioactive isotope to break down to form daughter isotope?
It's called "half life".
Can radioactive elements have stable compounds?
The answer is not so simple: - the chemical compound may be stable frequently (at a molecular scale) - but one of the elements in the formula (radioactive) is unstable - sometimes the radiations emitted by the radioactive element can destroy the molecule: the consequence of a radiochemical reaction as radiolysis.
As radioactive uranium decay it turns into what stable element?
Heavy radioactive elements (parent nuclei) decay to form daughter products that are as varied in number as the parents. Each heavy element has its own daughter.To find the decay mode and end products of the radioactive decay for a given isotope, use a Table of Nuclides. A link is provided to the interactive chart posted by the National Nuclear Data Center at the Brookhaven National Laboratory.The final stable element formed by all radioactive decay is lead (element number 82).
What is the slow breakdown of radioactive substances into more stable elements?
Radioactive elements break down in to stable isotopes through nuclear decay. The list of isotopes from a nuclear isotope to a stable isotope is called its decay chain.
What is a nonradioactive material?
A non-radioactive element is an element that has at least 1 isotope that is not radioactive. The means that at least one isotope has a stable nucleus that does not break down by shooting off high-energy particles.
What is the destiny of neptunium?
Being radioactive neptunium is decayed down to a stable isotope.
What is the difference between unstable and stable air?
. Unstable air, if lifted, will rise by itself without any forcing. Stable air, if lifted, will tend to sink back down.,
Is it possible the daughter element is parent to other elements and further decay in daughter elements is possible why?
An unstable element may break down into one or more unstable elements, so they can in turn decay. It's possible because there is no reason why it wouldn't be possible, no reason to assume that when something unstable breaks down, all pieces are stable.
Isotopes with unstable nuclei are?
Isotopes with unstable nuclei are radioactive and can undergo radioactive decay to achieve a more stable state. This decay process involves the release of radiation such as alpha or beta particles. The unstable isotopes are often used in various applications, including medicine and energy production.

The atomic number is unchanged.

What does it mean if a isotope is stable?
An isotope is considered stable if it does not undergo radioactive decay over time. This means that the nucleus of the isotope is not prone to breaking down and releasing radiation. Stable isotopes have a balance of protons and neutrons that make them resistant to spontaneous changes.
What is the time required for half of a sample of radioactive isotope to break down?
This time is called "half life" and is specific for each isotope.
