How is the radioactive decay of Krypton different from the radioactive decay of Americium?
The radioactive decay of americium 241 is by alpha disintegration; the disintegration of radioactive krypton isotopes is by beta particles emission.
Give one external condition that does not affect radioactive decay?
Just about NO environmental condition can change the rate of radioactive decay - except perhaps very extreme conditions, such as temperatures of millions of kelvin, or similarly extreme pressures (and it is debatable whether this is a different category).So, none of temperature, electric current, electric or magnetic fields, pressure, etc., will affect radioactive decay.
Why does a radioactive decay cause a rise in temperature?
Emitted particles transfer energy to surrounding atoms when they collide with them
Who discovered radioactive decay in 1898?
ernest Rutherford _______________________________________________________________ Radioactive decay was actually discovered in 1896 by Henri Bacquerel. Ernest Rutherford discovered the formula of radioactive decay (Such as the falk-life, differences between alpha and beta decay and even how the elements become new elements after the decay), but he did not discover the radioactive decay himself.
What is the radioactive decay law?
The rate of decay (activity) of a radioactive isotope is proportional to the number of atoms of the isotope present.
What is the effect of humidity and temperature on radioactive elements?
Temperature and humidity do not affect radioactive decay.
What is the effect of pressure on the rate of radioactive decay?
Pressure does not affect the rate of radioactive decay. That is entirely unaffected by the environment within the nucleus of the atom.
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 does not affect the half life or a redioactive decay?
Temperature and combination of the radioactive element.
What is the daughter product of the nuclear decay equation of C14?
N14
What is the c-14 c-12 ratio used to date once living organisms?
It is because living organisms absorb C14 from their environment. After death, they are no longer capable of absorbing any more C14. So, at the time of death, the C14 : C12 ratio is fixed. C14 undergoes radioactive decay (into C12) so the C14 : C12 ratio declines and that can be used as a measure of the time since death.
Radioactive decay do not involve electrons?
Radioactive decay may or may not involve electrons. There are different types of radioactive decay.
When radioactive isotopes break down into other elements the process is called?
radioactive decay

When an isotope is blank it does not undergo radioactive decay?
when an isotope is it does not undergo radioactive decay
