For the most common isotope of neptunium, Np-237, the decay daughter is protactinium-233.
Each isotope has another type of decay.
It means that massive nuclei break apart.
Tungsten is an element - this means that most of the atoms that make up a piece of tungsten were here before the Earth was formed. Most of them were probably created in stars, and released in supernova explosions.
Radioactivity is caused by unstable atoms, that break apart.
Radioisotopes are "radioactive isotopes"; they are not stable. Radioactive atoms will decay, or break apart into other atoms, by emitting an electron, or a neutron or a positron or an alpha particle (2 protons and two neutrons). The rate at which this happens is measured by the "half-life"; after one half-life, half of the atoms will have decayed. After another half-life, half of the remaining atoms will have decayed. Atoms with short half-lives are highly radioactive, and can be fairly dangerous. Atoms with long half-lives are only slightly radioactive, and aren't all that dangerous.
compound
Neptunium contain atoms, not molecules.
When neptunium atoms fall apart, they can form various isotopes of other elements. Neptunium decay series typically produce isotopes of uranium, thorium, and protactinium as the neptunium atom undergoes radioactive decay.
If atoms of same element combine, we say that element is existing in its real state (or simply a molecule of that element is formed). If two atoms of different elements combine, a compound is formed.

An element is formed from atoms; atoms are formed from protons, neutrons and electrons.Protons and neutroms are formed from quarks and gluons.A molecule is formed fro atoms.
A chemical compound is formed from chemical elements.A chemical element is formed from atoms; atoms contain an atomic nucleus (protons and neutrons), electrons and...vacuum.
The most common element in the universe is hydrogen.
It is a Gas,and liquid Water is a COMPOUND because it is formed from atoms of two elements.
A substance that is formed from one type of atoms with a characteristic set of physical and chemical properties is called an element.
Gold is a chemical element formed from atoms.
Ozone is not an element. It is a molecules. The molecule of ozone is formed by the combination of three oxygen atoms(where oxygen is an element).
