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 happens when radioactive element decays?

When a radioactive element decays, it releases energy in the form of radiation (such as alpha or beta particles). The decay changes the element into a different element or isotope, which may also be radioactive. This process continues until a stable non-radioactive element is formed.


What happened to the part of the plutonium that is no longer ther?

Plutonium is a radioactive element that decays over time, transforming into other elements through a series of radioactive decays. When plutonium decays, it releases energy in the form of radiation and transforms into a different element. This process continues until the plutonium is no longer present.


When an isotope decays over time and becomes a different element what is it called?

It is called radioactive decay. During this process, an unstable isotope loses energy or particles to become a more stable element.


What type of energy is release when one element decay into another elements?

Nuclear energy is released when one element decays into another element, as a result of the changes in the nucleus of the atom, such as radioactive decay. This process can release energy in the form of particles or electromagnetic radiation.


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 is produced when a radioactive element decays?

When a radioactive element decays, it produces radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. This decay process can transform the element into a different element or a different isotope of the same element.


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


Is the element einsteinium explosive?

Einsteinium is a radioactive element and is not inherently explosive. However, it can release energy in the form of radiation as it decays, but it is not known to exhibit explosive properties.


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.


Why do elements burn different colors when they are heated?

When elements are heated, their electrons absorb energy and move to higher energy levels. When the electrons return to their original energy levels, they release energy in the form of light. The color of the light emitted depends on the amount of energy released, which is specific to each element. This is why elements burn different colors when they are heated.
