All radioactive isotopes decay because they are unstable; uranium-238 decay to thorium-234 by beta (-) decay. The half life of 238U is very great: 4,468.109 years.
What else can I help you with?
Decaying unstable element?
Uranium238
What type of radiation is emitted when carbon 14 is decays?
Carbon-14 decays by beta-, which emits a W- boson that immediately decays into an electron and an electron anti-neutrino.
What are the particles produced when a positive pion decays?
When a positive pion decays, it produces a muon and a neutrino.
What do you call something that decays?
dead
What happened to the body after the internal organs had been removed?
After the internal organs have been removed the body decays
What do you call waste that decays?
Waste that decays is called biodegradable waste. Dead plant material that has decayed (as in compost) is called humus.
What happens to the amount of nitrogen14 as the carbon14 decays?
As carbon-14 decays, it transforms into nitrogen-14 through the process of beta decay. So, the amount of nitrogen-14 increases as carbon-14 decays.
What type of bacteria decays plants?
Agrobacterium
What is the term for an atom the decays?
unstable, radioactive
How many decays per second is in a curie?
Curie: A unit of radioactivity equal to 3.7 � 10^10 Disintegrations (decays) per second.
What is called after you die and your body decays?
After you die and your body decays, it is called decomposition. Decomposition is the process by which organic matter breaks down into simpler substances.
What do you call a atom that decays?
An atom whose nucleus decays over time is called radioactive. Some examples of radioactive substances are uranium, plutonium, and einsteinium.
