In what way is an atom of carbon different from an uranium?
Carbon atoms have 6 protons, while uranium atoms have 92 protons. This difference in the number of protons gives each element unique chemical properties and behaviors. Uranium is also a radioactive element, while carbon is stable in its most common isotopic form.
How stable are trans-uranium elements?
Trans-uranium elements, which have atomic numbers higher than uranium (element 92), are generally unstable and undergo radioactive decay. Their nuclei are too large to be stable, leading to the release of radiation as they break down into lighter elements. This radioactivity makes them potentially hazardous and difficult to handle safely.
Has Uranium changed over time?
The chemical and physical properties of uranium remain unchanged. But because uranium is a radioactive element the quantity of uranium on the earth is permanently changed due to radioactive decay.
Is uranium a example of a radioactive element?
All elements have radioactive isotopes. Add a couple of hundred neutrons, and any stable element becomes radioactive.Technetium, promethium, and anything heavier than bismuth (element 83) will have radioactive decay.radio active elements can be uranium,radium,thorium,polonium,actinium etc.usually all elements of atomic number higher than 82 show radioactivity.
Name 3 radioactive metals?
Most elements - metals and non-metals - have both stable and radioactivie isotopes. If an element is a type of atom, an isotope is something like a "sub-type". Two isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons.Most elements - metals and non-metals - have both stable and radioactivie isotopes.

How uranium nucleus become stable?
Being radioactive, uranium is not a stable element.
What is the stable element for the uranium decay chain?
Isotopes of lead
Does uranium exist in a stable non-radioactive form?
All the isotopes of uranium are radioactive and unstable.
Which is the next stable element after uranium?
none, uranium itself is unstable, there are no stable elements after bismuth; and even some researchers suggest that bismuth is an unstable radioactive element with a halflife approaching twice the age of the universe.
Does uranium not have a stable isotope?
Uranium hasn't stable isotopes.
What is the scientist Marie Curie known for?
discovery of the elements Radium and Poloniumstudying the decay chains from the radioactive element Uranium down to the stable element Lead
What element does uranium-238 end up as?
The decay chain in the uranium 238 series (also called radium series) id lead 206 (stable isotope).
The uranium decay chain ends when the final disintegration products is the stable element?
Lead 206 and lead 207.
What radioactive element turns to lead when it has lost lots of energy?
It is uranium that is changed into lead during radioactive decay. Note that there are a number of intermediate steps in the conversion of uranium into stable lead. The uranium does not change directly into lead. The uranium atom undergoes decay, and a radioactive daughter product appears. This continues with radioactive daughters appearing at the end of every step - until lead appears.
What is the daughter product of uranium 238 by beta and gamma emission?
The decay product of uranium 238 by alpha disintegration (not beta or gamma) is thorium 234.
What is radioactive disintegration series?
A disintegration series is the pathway of a radioactively unstable element into a stable element. The pathway alters the atomic number of the element and converts the element into another element. A common one is the uranium disintegration series.
Which element is uranium transformed into?
The end element of the uranium decay chain is a stable isotope of lead.
