Naturally occurring scandium 45Sc is stable. However synthetic isotopes of scandium can have 36 to 60 nucleons. Isotopes with masses above the stable isotope decay through beta emission into isotopes of titanium. Isotopes below the stable variety decay, mainly by electron capture, into isotopes of calcium.

The daughter isotope is 87.5 percent if the half-life of the isotope is 150 million years how old is the sample?
a sample is brought to the laboratory and the chemist determines the percentage of the daughter isotope is 87.5%. if the half-life of the isotope is 150 million years, how old is the sample?
What radioactive isotope undergoes beta decay to produce sulfur 32?
Phosphorus-32 produces sulfur-32 by negative beta decay.
Who discovered radiometric dating?
Take a look at this:"In 1896 Henri Becquerel and Marie Curie discovered that certain isotopes undergo spontaneous radioactive decay, transforming into new isotopes. Atoms of a parent radioactive isotope randomly decay into a daughter isotope. Over time the number of parent atoms decreases and the number of daughter atoms increases. Rutherford and Soddy (1902) discovered that the rate of decay of a radioactive isotope depends on the amount of the parent isotope remaining. Later it was found that half of the parent atoms occurring in a sample at any time will decay into daughter atoms in a characteristic time called the half-life."from http://myweb.cwpost.liu.edu/vdivener/notes/radiometric_dating.htmThese discoveries lead to the practical application of radiometric dating so you could probably credit the discovery to these individuals.
What is a balanced equation for the alpha decay of thorium -232?
Alright so you begin with what you need, this isotope of Protactinium has 234 nucleons, its atomic number is 91, in Beta decay we release an electron, which has no nucleons (protons and neutrons) and an atomic number of -1 so when we take out -1 from 91, so 91 - -1 we get 92, which is of course Uranium, this particular isotope has 234 nucleons, now, to show where it has gone, write the electron in, and add a antineutrino aswell, heres how mine looks. Pa23491 ---> U23491 + e0-1 + antineutrino (a v with a little line above it) Hope this helps :)
How do you find the atomic number of an isotope?
The atomic number of an isotope is always identical to every other isotope, otherwise, it would form a separate element.
What is the daughter nucleus produced when 167Tm undergoes electron capture?
This is the isotope erbium-167.
What daughter product is produced when thallium-206 an isotope of thallium undergoes beta minus decay?
This isotope is lead-206.
An isotope of Carbon Z equals 6 14C undergoes β decay What is the daughter nucleus produced?
Carbon-14 undergoes beta emission, converting one neutron to a proton and emitting an electron, with the daughter nucleus being nitrogen-14.
What is important of decay chain in isotopes?
In nuclear science, the decay chain refers to the radioactive decay of different discrete radioactive decay products as a chained series of transformations. Most radioactive elements do not decay directly to a stable state, but rather undergo a series of decays until eventually a stable isotope is reached.Decay stages are referred to by their relationship to previous or subsequent stages. A parent isotope is one that undergoes decay to form a daughter isotope. The daughter isotope may be stable or it may decay to form a daughter isotope of its own. The daughter of a daughter isotope is sometimes called a granddaughter isotope.
When an unstable isotope decays the daughter isotope that results is always a stable isotope true or false?
Technically the answer is false, however the answer most tests accept as the correct answer is True.According to Nuclear theory when a parent undergoes decay and produces a daughter isotope the daughter may be stable or it may be unstable and further decay until a final stable granddaughter isotope is formed. This process is called a decay chain, however since eventually a stable isotope is formed the acceptable answer is True, even though technically it is not the case.
What happens to a radioisotope when it undergoes decay?
This isotope is transformed in another isotope of another element.
What is the charge on scandium?
The density of scandium is 2.99 grams per cubic centimeter. This element is classified as a metal, and it has the atomic number of 21.
When iron 59 undergoes beta decay what is the results?
The daughter product in this nuclear process will be cobalt-59, which is stable. One neutron becomes a proton and an electron. The proton remains, adding 1 to the nuclide's atomic number; the electron is emitted as a beta particle.
What nuclide is formed when 90Sr undergoes?
The isotope yttrium 90.
What is the stable isotope that is formed by the breakdown of a radioactive isotope?
That's called a daughter isotope, or a daughter product. (The original isotope that decayed is the parent isotope.)
If an isotope undergoes beta emission?
If a radioactive isotope undergoes beta emission, a. The atomic number changes B. the number of neutrons remains constant c. The mass number changes d. The todo isotope loses and electron
What element has a mass number of 21 and an atomic number of 10?
Sc, scandium (21), the first metal element in the 3d-block (transition elements); next to calcium (20).
