What is the stable produced by the radioactive decay of a parent isotope?
daughter isotope
What is the processes where an unstable parent isotope becomes a stable daughter isotope called?
Succesive radioactive disintegrations in a radioactive series.
What our daughter isotopes?
"Daughter isotopes" are called the decay products of an radioactive isotope.
What is the similarity of radioactive isotope and radioactive dating?
Radioactive isotopes are used for radioactive dating. For example, you would use radioactive isotope Carbon-14 to date anything under 70,000 years that was once living. Radioactive isotopes decay from their parent isotope to daughter isotope at a constant rate (under any circumstances). The rate at which a parent isotope decays to its daughter isotope is considered one half life. Carbon-14 has a half life of 5730 years and its daughter isotope is Nitrogen-14. In order to determine how old something is you have to find out how much of the parent isotope is present in relation to the daughter.
Is it true that a stable radioactive isotope called the parent will decay and form daughter products?
1. All the radioactive isotopes are unstable ! 2. Yes, it is true, the parent isotope (radioactive and unstable) decay and form daughter products.
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 term for the element that a radioactive isotope decay into?
The atom that results from nuclear decay is called the daughter atom. The element of the daughter atom would be called the daughter element. The atom that decayed is called the parent.
What is the destiny of neptunium?
Being radioactive neptunium is decayed down to a stable isotope.
What is the stable produced by the radioactive decay of a parent isotope?
daughter isotope

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...
Is it true that a stable radioactive isotope called the parent will decay and form daughter products?
1. All the radioactive isotopes are unstable ! 2. Yes, it is true, the parent isotope (radioactive and unstable) decay and form daughter products.
What is the definition of a parent isotope?
according to google XD, this is the radioactive atom that decays to product a daughter isotope
What is important of decay chain in isotopes?
In nuclear science, the decay chain refers to the radioactive decay of different discrete radioactive decay products as a chained series of transformations. Most radioactive elements do not decay directly to a stable state, but rather undergo a series of decays until eventually a stable isotope is reached.Decay stages are referred to by their relationship to previous or subsequent stages. A parent isotope is one that undergoes decay to form a daughter isotope. The daughter isotope may be stable or it may decay to form a daughter isotope of its own. The daughter of a daughter isotope is sometimes called a granddaughter isotope.
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.
