What else can I help you with?
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.
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 necessary for you to be able to explain what happens during radioactive decay?
To fully explain radioactive decay you need quantum mechanics.
Use the term radioactive decay in a sentence?
"The radioactive decay of certain unstable isotopes is used to calculate the age of objects."
When radioactive isotopes break down into other elements the process is called?
radioactive decay
What term indicates the process in which unstable nuclide release radiation?
If it is related to Nuclear studies, then the answer would be fusion.
What process is a radioactive decay?
The process of a radioactive decay is atomic nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy by emitting ionizing particles
What kind of process is radioactive decay?
It is a nuclear process.
What is an autoradiolysis?
An autoradiolysis is the process of radiolysis of a radioactive compound resulting from its own radioactive decay.
Does the process of radioactive decay fall under the study of chemistry or physics or is it a combination of both?
Radioactive decay falls under chemistry, because the chemical properties of the substance are changed during radioactive decay.
What is an unstable nucleus that starts a decay process called?
A nucleus that starts to decay is called a radioactive nucleus or atom. It decays with a known and unique half life by several processes including but not limited to beta decay, alpha decay, electron capture decay, and positron emission.
Process by which unstable nuclei lose energy?
Radioactive decay
Process atoms use to become stable?
Radioactive decay
What is another way to age a fossil?
By radioactive decay process.
What kinetics does radioactive decay obey?
Radioactive decay follows first-order kinetics, meaning the rate of decay is proportional to the amount of radioactive material present. This means that half-life remains constant throughout the decay process.
What are the properties of radioactive decay?
Radioactive decay has the following properties: 1. No element can completely decay. 2. The number of atoms decaying in a particular period is proportional to the number of atoms present in the beginning of that period. 3. Estimate of radioactive decay can be made by half life and decay constant of a radioactive element.
