What type of energy is released when one element decays into other elements?

This would be radioactivity in which alpha or beta particles are released. The nucleus concerned decays into another nucleus with lower energy, resulting in ejection of the particle which has kinetic energy, until it is absorbed into some other material which will happen quite quickly. See the link below for more discussion of the energy changes

What does a negative Hf for molecule mean?
Energy was released when the molecule was formed from its elements
Which formula below describes how naturally occurring chemical elements such as uranium thorium and potassium helped to heat the Earth's interior?
During radioactive decays heat is released and the center of the Earth is melted.
What elements have complete outer energy levels and will bond with any other element?
Elements with complete outer energy levels are noble, which means that they will not bond with other elements. They are not (normally) reactive.
Is oxygen a form of chemical energy?
No, oxygen is an element. Chemical energy is usually the thing that hooks elements into compounds.
Radioactive element used for nuclear energy?
One of the radioactive elements used for nuclear energy is 235U92, commonly stated as U-235.
What type of energy is released when one element decays into other element?
kinetic energy
What is produced when a radioactive element decays?
Energy, various sub-atomic particles, a different element.
What it means when an element is radioactive?
Radioactive elements have unstable nucleii. When an unstable nucleus decays it emits energy in the form of electromagnetic waves and heavy particles and in the process forms new nucleii.
What happened during nuclear decay?
New elements(or isotopes of decaying element) are produced and energy is released
What are the elements within energy?
yes energy is an element :P
How does radioactive decay provide energy source for plate tectonics trough the decays of uranium thorium and potassium?
During radioactive decays heat is released and the center of the Earth is melted.
What is the Stars fusion?
Atomic fusion is the process by which elements which are brought into intimate contact, will undergo fusion, and will form a heavier element, and will emit energy in the process. Much of this released energy is the from the 'binding energy' of the atom.
What is fusion in the stars?
Atomic fusion is the process by which elements which are brought into intimate contact, will undergo fusion, and will form a heavier element, and will emit energy in the process. Much of this released energy is the from the 'binding energy' of the atom.

When a radioactive elements decays it releases?
Carbon-14 was the answer given; however, through a painful grading experience I found it is wrong. The actual answer is ( Particles and Energy)

During radioactive decays heat is released and the center of the Earth is melted.
Where are the great amounts of energy produced during nuclear fission?
Each element has a distinct binding energy - energy which is required to "glue" the individual constituents of an atom (proton, neutron and electrons) together. During nuclear fission, heavier elements decay into lighter elements, thus changing the binding energy of the individual nuclei formed. This minute change releases energy which, when the large number of decays of atoms per second is considered, produces a high quantity of (thermal) energy which is captured by a nuclear fission reactor.
