When does an unstable isotope break down into a stable isotope?
The process is called decay, or sometimes nuclear decay. A link can be found below.
What is a Toxic metallic element decay product of uranium?
The end products of uranium isotopes decay chain are the isotopes of lead.
What element is nonradioactive in the chain decay of uranium?
Only the end product of the decay chain of uranium, a non radioactive isotope of lead.
Why branching decay occur in thorium series?
Branching decay occurs in the thorium series because there are multiple pathways for the decay of thorium nuclei. Thorium can decay through alpha decay, beta decay, gamma decay, and other processes, leading to different end products with varying probabilities. These branching decay pathways contribute to the overall complexity of the thorium decay chain.
What remains at the end of decay process?
At the end of the decay process, particularly in the context of radioactive decay, what remains is often a stable nuclide or isotope, which may be a different element or a stable form of the original element. Additionally, the decay process may leave behind radiation in the form of alpha, beta, or gamma particles, depending on the type of decay. In broader terms, for organic matter, the decay process typically results in simpler organic compounds, minerals, and nutrients that can be recycled in the ecosystem.
What is the stable isotope that results from the decay of radioactive elements?
The stable isotope that results from the decay of radioactive elements varies depending on the specific element undergoing decay. For example, uranium-238 decays to lead-206, while carbon-14 decays to nitrogen-14. These stable isotopes are often the end products of a decay chain, where a series of transformations ultimately leads to a stable state. Each radioactive element has its unique decay pathway and stable end products.
Every chain of radioactive decay ends in the formation of?
It would end in a stable isotope.
How will the world end with a whimper?
The world will end with a whimper through gradual decline and decay rather than a sudden catastrophic event.
What is a radioactive decay series and when does it end?
Usually called a 'decay chain', there is a series of radioactive decays which end with a stable isotope. Ex: uranium undergoes about 14 steps in the decay chain that ends with the formation of a stable isotope of Lead.
What males a radioactive decay chain end?
The final product is not radioactive.
Can you repair cavities in your own teeth?
NO,NO,NO. Never attempt to do this. There is decay that can only be removed by a qualified dentist. If you try to do this yourself, you will end up with decay underneath "your" filling that will continue to decay until it reaches the nerve of the tooth. Then only a root canal or an extraction will take care of it.
