Which atoms are least likely to be radioactive?
Generally, the smaller the nucleus, the less radioactive.
Which energy-level changes for an electron is least energetic?
The inner, or K shell, of the electron cloud has the least energy.
Which state of matter contains the least energetic particles?
The one with the least heat, therefore, solids.
Which are radioactive elements in periodic table?
All elements have at least some radioactive isotopes. For some elements no radioactive isotopes are known except those that are synthetic (see link to related question below). For some other elements, there are both radioactive isotopes and stable isotopes in nature. (see link to related question below). Some elements only have radioactive isotopes, and these are found in nature in at least trace quantities, they include (ordered by atomic number; those marked with * are normally only found in trace amounts in ore as radioactive decay products, and those with ** are distributed radioactive decay products found in trace amounts): Period 5: technetium* Period 6: promethium*, bismuth, polonium*, astatine*, radon** Period 7: francium*, radium*, actinium*, thorium, protactinium*, uranium, neptunium*, plutonium** The fact that all isotopes of bismuth are radioactive was only recently discovered. Some elements are only know as a result of synthesis by human activity, and these are as follows:Period 7: americium, curium, berkelium, californium, einsteinium, fermium, mendelevium, nobelium, lawrencium, rutherfordium, dubnium, seaborgium, bohrium, hassium, meitnerium, darmstadtium, roentgenium, copernicium, and anything new that might come along.
Elements after which element are radioactive?
The atoms that are radioactive are those with unstable nuclei. There is no easy way to tell which is which, so the isotope has to be looked up. All elements have at least some radioactive isotopes. There are 36 elements for which all radioactive isotopes are synthetic or fission products, so for practical purposes, there are no radioactive isotopes of them in nature, except where introduced by human activity. They include most of the common elements we find in nature, but not all. There are 44 elements that are found as stable isotopes, but at least traces of radioactive isotopes are found in nature. Among these are hydrogen, carbon, sodium, silicon, chlorine, and potassium, all of which are necessary for life. Radioactive potassium, in particular, is present as 0.012% of all potassium. For another group of elements, including technetium, promethium, and all with atomic numbers of 83 (bismuth) or more, there is no isotope that is stable.
Radioactive decay speeds up at higher temperatures?
No, radioactive decay is not affected by temperature, at least, not in anything like a normal range. At millions of degrees, yes, it would speed up.
Three products of radioactive decay from most penetrating to least?
Gamma Beta Alpha
When the electrostatic force overcomes the force in at least part of the nucleus it is called radioactive decay?
strong
The most common types of radioactive decay least penetrating human tissue to most penetrating?
alpha, beta, gamma
Which photon would do least damage to the nucleus of one of your cells and why?
Single gamma photons would probably do the worst damage to the cell structure. They are extremely energetic and quite radioactive.
What element is radioactive and explosive?
There are at least 50 different elements produced in a nuclear explosion, most are fission products in 2 peaks, some are formed by neutron capture and beta decay. The majority of these are radioactive isotopes of the elements.
Radioactive decay occurs when in at least part of the nucleus the force overcomes the strong force?
electrostatic
Radioactive decay is the most dangerous?
There are three types: Beta decay, alpha decay, and gamma decay/gamma rays. They are all dangerous if exposed to a high amount of radioactive matter. When the radioactive isotope undergoes beta, alpha, and gamma decay, there is an emission of a beta particle, alpha particle, and gamma ray (respectively). In highly radioactive matter, there are often trillions of radioactive isotopes that emit these particles and/or rays - and they are very high-energy once emitted. However, they are only dangerous when exposed to a high amount.
What are the sections of the electromagnetic spectrum from least energetic to most energetic?
r u sus
What is the sequence of waves from most energetic to least energetic?
there is no waves HA WAVE CHECK
When was exponential growth and decay invented?
They were not invented because they predated the first human beings. They existed at least millions of years before there was anyone to "invent" them.All novae produce radioactive elements and these decay exponentially. So exponential decay predates the formation of the solar system.I am not sure, but stellar fusion may be exponential. But, in any case, there are life forms on earth, like bacteria, that exhibit exponential growth. These bacteria, and therefore exponential growth, predate human beings by a few million years.They were not invented because they predated the first human beings.
