Sodium Na 11 stable or radioactive?
Sodium primarily exists as stable sodium-23, which is the most common and stable isotope of sodium. However, sodium can also form radioactive isotopes, with sodium-22 being a well-known example that is radioactive.
All isotopes of this element are radioactive?
Radioactive Elements (38) These elements are radioactive. They either have no stable naturally occurring isotope, or else are entirely artificial (all artificial elements have no stable isotopes). by Andrew Moore
Is hydrogen radioactive?
Not necessarily. Ozone is a molecule made up of oxygen atoms. A molecule is not radioactive, but its atoms might be. Radioactivity is a function of the arrangement / number of nucleons in the nucleus of an atom. It is possible to make ozone from one or more radioactive iosotopes of oxygen. But simply forming ozone does not make the atoms radioactive. Ozone generators, especially corona based ones, make a lot of electrical noise that can be picked up with a radio. But the "radio activity" stops when the generator is turned off. And it has nothing to do with ozone, but everything to do with the tiny "lightning bolts" used to make ozone. Ozone is unstable, and decays with time. So in that way, it is like a radioactive element, in that it has a half life. But unlike radioactive elements, ozone's half life is a function of what its environment is, temperature, humidity, and solar radiation.
How many times must oxygen bond to become stable?
Oxygen must bond twice to become stable. In its stable form, oxygen molecules have a double bond (O=O), with each oxygen atom sharing two electrons.
Is phosphorus stable or unstable?
Phosphorus is stable in its common forms, such as white phosphorus and red phosphorus. However, there are unstable isotopes of phosphorus that are radioactive and undergo decay.
Is O radioactive?
If you mean oxygen: like most elements, it has both stable isotopes, and unstable (i.e., radioactive) isotopes. 16O, 17O and 18O are stable; the unstable (radioactive) isotopes include 15O and 14O.
Does radioactive isotopes have a stable nuclei?
Radioactive isotopes are not stable.
What nuclei is not radioactive?
The stable nuclei that are not radioactive include, for example, carbon-12, oxygen-16, and neon-20. These nuclei have a balanced composition of protons and neutrons that do not undergo radioactive decay.
Is Mercury stable or radioactive?
It is stable, although there are heavier isotopes that could be radioactive.
Is oxygen 15 stable?
Oxygen-15 is an isotope of oxygen, frequently used in positron emission tomography, or PET imaging. It is not stable.
Why dont radioactive elements have a stable nucleus?
By definition. If it were stable, then it would not be radioactive.
Which atoms are least likely to be radioactive?
Atoms with stable nuclei are least likely to be radioactive. Typically, atoms with an even number of protons and neutrons are more stable and less likely to undergo radioactive decay. This includes elements such as carbon-12, oxygen-16, and nitrogen-14.
What is a stable isotope?
A stable isotope is an isotope that does not undergo radioactive decay, meaning its nucleus is stable and does not change over time. These isotopes have a constant number of protons and neutrons, making them suitable for use in scientific studies like tracing biological processes or determining the age of rocks. Examples include carbon-12, oxygen-16, and nitrogen-14.
Name an element that is stable by itself?
Examples (in the sense of non-radioactive): helium, oxygen, beryllium, caesium, lanthanum etc.
What form of oxygen is radioactive oxygen-15 or oxygen-16?
The isotope oxygen-15 is radioactive.
Does uranium exist in a stable non-radioactive form?
All the isotopes of uranium are radioactive and unstable.
What is stable elements?
Unstable elements are radioactive elements that spontaneously decay into other elements. Some are: Radon Uranium Plutonium See the related link for an article giving greater detail on isotope stability.
