Do all elements decay over time?
It is the unstable isotopes of elements that decay over time. All elements have an isotope or isotopes that are unstable and will decay over time. (These isotopes will be either naturally occurring or will be synthetic.) Some isotopes of some elements, however, are stable, and they will not undergo radioactive decay.To discover what's what, we have to do some homework, and what better place to start than the table of nuclides? It lists all the elemets, and all the isotopes of each element. Further, it tells us which ones are stable, which are unstable, and will also help us determine the decay mode of the unstable nuclides.
Is ytterbium found on earth?
Yes. It has lots of stable isotopes.
Why won't stable elements react?
Stable elements do not react because they don't need to. Elements react so that they can gain stability( as stability is gained by filling the outer most shell of the atom). As stable elements already have full outer shells and are stable , they do not react.
Chlorine-35 and chlorine-37 are examples of what?
They are examples of isotopes. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. The only naturally occurring isotope of iodine is stable iodine-127. Iodine-131 is used in medicine to monitor thyroid gland functioning, to treat goitre and thyroid cancer, and to locate tumours of the brain and of the liver.
What is the last non radioactive element?
All isotopes of all elements past bismuth are radioactive (and it is believed that even for bismuth all isotopes are radioactive, its most stable isotope just appears to have a halflife several orders of magnitude longer than the age of the universe).
What are elements with no stable isotopes called?
Radioactive.
What is stable isotropes?
Stable isotopes of elements are called stable because they do not radioactively decay.
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 this a stable element Carbon atomic number 6?
It really isn't elements that are stable or unstable, but isotopes. Carbon has both stable and unstable isotopes.
Does argon have isotopes?
yes, all elements have isotopes. some stable, some radioactive.
Does every element has two stable isotopes?
No, Gold and several other elements have only one stable isotope, Promethium & Technetium as well as all elements heavier than Bismuth have no stable isotopes.
What is the slow breakdown of radioactive substances into more stable elements?
Radioactive elements break down in to stable isotopes through nuclear decay. The list of isotopes from a nuclear isotope to a stable isotope is called its decay chain.
What are the stable elements of periodic table?
First, it should be noted that it is not an element that is stable or unstable, but an isotope. If you don't know the difference, please read the Wikipedia article, or some other source, about "isotopes", Most of the elements up to #82 (Pb) have stable isotopes, with the exception of #43 (Tc) and #61 (Pm). Please note that all of these "stable elements" also have unstable isotopes!
Which alkali metal element has no stable isotopes?
Elements with no stable isotopes include technetium (element 43) and promethium (element 61) and all elements heavier than lead (elements 83 and higher). Bismuth, element 83, is virtually stable with an extremely long half life of 1.9 x 1019 years.
Which elements is stable neon carbon boron or fluorine?
Of those, neon is the most chemically stable (least reactive).But for elements, the term stable usually means non-radioactive, and all of these elements have stable isotopes.
What does the band of stability for atomic nuclei refer to?
The band of stability is a way of viewing which isotopes of the elements are stable. If you make a graph of number of neutrons versus number of protons of the stable isotopes, you find that the stable isotopes make a thick curved line on the graph which is called the "band of stability." The lighter elements tend to have the number of neutrons equal to number of protons. The heavier elements tend to have more neutrons than protons. The band of stability can help you to predict the behavior of unstable radioactive isotopes as well, because you can predict which decay process will move the element closer to the "band of stability" so it will have the ideal ratio of neutrons to protons.
Are iron elements stable?
Iron is an element, and there is only one element called iron (Fe). There are no iron element(s), but if you mean isotopes, then some iron isotopes are stable, and some aren't. No known element is stable in of it's isotopes.
