Nearly 100% of aluminum found in nature is 27Al, which is not radioactive. There are traces found of radioactive 26Al, but they are not significant. Other, synthetic, radioactive isotopes of aluminum exist, such as 25Al.

Is aluminium natural or syntheti?
Aluminium is an element, it is not synthetic.
What is the source of heat in the Earth's interior?
The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.
What happens when T2 phages are grown in the presence of radioactive phosphorus?
The bacterial proteins will become radioactive
What is the difference of aluminum sulfide and aluminum sulfate?
Aluminum Sulfide ==> Al2S3 Aluminum Sulfate ==> Al2(SO4)3 Aluminum sulfide is just aluminum and sulfur, while aluminum sulfate is Aluminum plus Sulfate (Polyatomic ion made of sulfur and oxygen)
What is Radioactive dating of rock samples?
Radioactive dating of rock samples determines the age of rocks from the time it was formed. Geologist determine the age of rocks using radioactive dating. The radioactive dating relies on spontaneous decomposition into other element. The spontaneous decomposition is called radioactive decay.
Is the element aluminum radioactive?
no because if it was we wouldn't use it if it was radioactive
How can some places in the outer core be hotter than the inner core?
Concentrations of radioactive elements generate excess heat. A lot of the heat in the Earth's interior is related to radioactive isotopes of aluminum, and aluminum is less dense than the inner core, which is iron and nickel.
When aluminum-27 is bombarded with a neutron a gamma ray is emitted What radioactive isotope is produced?
Aluminum-27 + n -> Aluminum-28 + gamma raywith a 2.3 minute half life Aluminum-28 -> beta- + Silicon-28Silicon-28 is stable.You have now transmuted one stable element to another.
Does the element aluminum undergo radioactive decay?
All elements have some isotopes that undergo radioactive decay, the question is how fast.Aluminum comes in three major isotopes, each with their own half-life:Al-26: 730000 years - 0% in natural aluminumAl-27: Stable - 100% in natural aluminumAl-28: 2.3 minutes - 0% in natural aluminumSo as natural aluminum is 100% Al-27 it does not undergo radioactive decay
Is aluminium natural or syntheti?
Aluminium is an element, it is not synthetic.
What are the equations for each of the following radioactive decay reactions alpha emissions by thorium 228 and beta emissions by aluminum 28?
228Th-------------224Ra + α 28Al---------------28Si + β-
Which radioactive particle can be stopped by a regular sheet of notebook paper?
Alpha. Beta particles are blocked by a few mm of aluminum and gamma by a few cm of lead. Alpha. Beta particles are blocked by a few mm of aluminum and gamma by a few cm of lead.
What is the element that has 13 protons?
The number of neutrons is irrelevant for determining the element. 13 protons makes it aluminum. (The isotope of aluminum with 13 neutrons is unstable and radioactive, with a half-life of about 720,000 years.)
What do you spell radioactive?
"Radioactive."
Is the element sodium radioactive or non-radioactive?
non radioactive element
What characterizes a radioactive element?
As radioactive element is an element that is on the Priodic Table of Elements. A Radioactive Element is usually radioactive.
What is the source of heat in the Earth's interior?
The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.
