Yes, it is. Nuclear decay is a process that an unstable atom goes through to lose energy and move toward a more stable state. (It may take more than one decay.) In nuclear decay, the nucleus undergoes a change by releasing a particle or particles and electromagnetic energy. Links are provided to related Wikipedia articles and related questions.
What else can I help you with?
Do element identities reamin the same or change during nuclear decay?
That depends on the nuclear decay type. For gamma decay, the identity does NOT change, but for alpha and beta, it does.
Which equation represents a spontaneous nuclear decay?
All nuclear decay is spontaneous.
What is the nuclear decay equation for Chromium?
Natural chromium is stable and does not decay/
Is nuclear decay spontaneous or artificial?
Matter can be made to undergo nuclear decay in reactors, but it is a process that occurs spontaneously in nature.
Is the process of changing one element into another through nuclear decay?

What can uranium change to?
Uranium may suffer nuclear reactions, nuclear fission, nuclear decay.
What are the forms of nuclear decay?

What is mass converted to in nuclear processes?
nuclear decay, such as alpha decay or beta decay.
Can atoms change back from one another?
In a nuclear decay sequence it is possible for heavier atoms to decay to a lighter element.
Which equation represents a spontaneous nuclear decay?
All nuclear decay is spontaneous.
What nuclear decay have similar qualities to helium nucleus?
Alpha nuclear decay
Which forces govern atomic decay?
The forces that govern atomic decay are the weak nuclear force and electromagnetic force. The weak nuclear force is responsible for processes like beta decay, while the electromagnetic force is involved in processes like gamma decay. These forces act on the subatomic particles within the nucleus to cause them to change states and decay into more stable configurations.
Is radium decaying to lead a chemical or physical change?
The decay of radium to lead is a nuclear change, not a chemical or physical change. It involves the transformation of radium atoms into lead atoms through the process of radioactive decay. This change is due to the emission of alpha particles and does not involve any chemical reactions or changes in the physical state of the substances.
Which of the following statements is true Chemical reaction rates vary with the conditions of the change but nuclear rates do not Nuclear decay rates vary with the condition?
Nuclear decay rates do not vary with the conditions of the change; they are constant for a given isotope. On the other hand, chemical reaction rates can vary with conditions such as temperature, pressure, and the presence of catalysts.
Is a bomb an example of nuclear energy?
Yes, radioactive decay results in the release of nuclear energy. The radioactive decay of an atom is the result of changes in the atom's nucleus, so energy released will be nuclear energy by definition.
A emission results in the release of energy without any apparent change in mass or nuclear charge.?
This process is known as gamma decay, which involves the emission of a gamma ray photon. Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that carries energy but does not change the mass or nuclear charge of the atom. Gamma decay is typically associated with nuclear reactions and can occur after alpha or beta decay to stabilize the nucleus.
