What else can I help you with?
Why radioactive decay is always first order reaction?
This is because only one isotope decay.
Radioactive decay can be affected by?
The rate of decay of a radioactive element cannot be influenced by any physical or chemical change. It is a rather constant phenomenon that appears to be independent of all others. The rate of decay is given by an element's half life, which is the amount of time for approximately half of the atoms to decay.
Which statement describes the differences between chemical reactions and nuclear decay rates?
Nuclear decay rates vary, but chemical reaction rates are constant
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.
What is the difference between a nuclear decay from a chemical reaction?
Nuclear decay involves the contents of the atomic nucleus, the protons and neutrons. Chemical reactions involve the electrons.
Is conversion by radioactive decay a chemical reaction?
No. It is a nuclear reaction - radioactive disintegration.
Does the rate of radioactive decay slow by extreme cooling?
No, radioactive decay isn't affected by anything - temperature or pressure because it isn't a chemical or physical reaction.
What is the difference between Chemical kinetics vs Chemical decay?
Chemical decay, also known as radioactive decay, is a process that occurs naturally (usually in isotopes or unstable substances) Chemical Kinetics is one of the ways you can analyze radioactive decay. Although it should be noted that radioactive decay undergoes first order decay when using Chemical Kinetics.
Are radioactive reactions redox reaction?
Radioactive reaction is a red-ox reaction. This is a nuclear decay.
What decays first duriing radioactive decay?
No, radioactive decay is not a chemical reaction. Radioactive decay is a type of change in the nucleus of an atom that results from instability in that nucleus. And that is a nuclear reaction rather than a chemical one.
Is Radioactive decay a nuclear reaction?
yes
Is thorium emits a beta particle a chemical reaction?
No, thorium emitting a beta particle is a nuclear reaction, not a chemical reaction. In a beta decay process, a neutron in the thorium nucleus converts into a proton, emitting a beta particle (an electron) and an antineutrino. This type of decay is a form of radioactive decay, which is a nuclear process involving changes in the nucleus of an atom.
What is the difference between a chemical activity and radioactive decay?
Radioactive decay is the process by which parts/all of an atom's nucleus break apart or separate, due to instability caused by the interactions between particles. A chemical reaction is the process through which chemical bonds are broken and made, and can be distinuighed from comparing the properties of the reactants and products. It usually requires some input of energy to begin.
Why radioactive decay is always first order reaction?
This is because only one isotope 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 type of reaction results in the change of protons and neutrons?
radioactive decay
What if californium disappeared?
Because californium is an unstable, radioactive chemical element disappear by radioactive decay.
