What is the name of the daughter nuclide?
The daughter nuclide is the atom or atoms that result when a parent nuclide decays through emission of ionizing radiation or through fission.
What formula describes how naturally occurring chemical elements such as uranium thorium and potassium help to heat the Earth's interior?
parent nuclide daughter nuclide + energy

parent nuclide daughter nuclide + energy
How does the emission of an alpha particle change the mass number of a parent nuclide?
Mass number of the parent nucleus will be reduced by 4
What happens to an atom whos nucleus decomposes?
It's called Radioactive Decay. It transforms the atom (or "parent nuclide") into a "daughter nuclide"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_decay
If a sample of radioactive materiel contains 17 daughter nuclide what percent of parent nuclide is present in the sample?
If there are 17 daughter nuclides, then this represents 17 half-lives. Each half-life corresponds to a 50% reduction in the parent nuclide. Therefore, 17 half-lives would result in 1/2^17 (0.0000763) or approximately 0.00763% of the original parent nuclide remaining in the sample.
How does the emission of an alpha particle change the mass number of the parent nuclide?
The mass number decrease with 4.
How does the emission of an alpha particle change the mass number A of parent nuclidehow does the atomic number Z change?
When a parent nuclide emits an alpha particle, which consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons, the mass number (A) of the nuclide decreases by 4, as it loses a total of 4 nucleons. The atomic number (Z) decreases by 2 because the emission of 2 protons reduces the number of protons in the nucleus. As a result, the parent nuclide transforms into a different element that is two positions to the left on the periodic table.
Is a parent isotope more radioactive then a daughter isotope?
The daughter isotope is the result of the radioactive disintegration of the parent isotope. For example radium is a product of the uranium disintegration.The two isotopes have different chemical (different atomic numbers, etc.), physical and nuclear properties.
Which series consists of radioactive nuclides produced by successive radioactive decay until a stable nuclide is reached a. nuclide series b. half-life series c. parent series d. decay series?
Decay Series
What is nuclides?
A configuration composed of Photons & Neutrons is called Nuclide's. There are 3000 nuclide's approximately all together (270 nuclide's are naturally forms)
What is the effect of beta decay on composition of a nucleus?
Commonly the parent nuclide decays by the beta emission. In addition to that; inside the nuclei decay chain will consistently have half-lives!
