6C14 ---------> 7N14 + -1 e0
Beta particle is emitted and carbon changes into nitrogen
Carbon-14 undergoes beta decay, becoming nitrogen-14 which is stable.
Caebon-14 is a radioactive isotope and can decay.
That depends on the type of decay, alpha and beta decay change the atom into a different element but gamma decay does not.
The lightest "element" that can undergo radioactive decay is the isotope hydrogen-3, which undergoes beta decay. The lightest element with no radioactively stable isotopes is technetium, and its isotopes have different modes of decay.
To fully explain radioactive decay you need quantum mechanics.
Carbon-14 undergoes beta decay, becoming nitrogen-14 which is stable.
Carbon-14 undergoes beta decay, where a neutron in the carbon-14 nucleus is transformed into a proton, resulting in the emission of a beta particle (an electron) and an antineutrino. This process transforms carbon-14 into nitrogen-14.
nucleus
Carbon-14 is more reactive than carbon-12 because it is radioactive and undergoes radioactive decay. This makes carbon-14 more chemically active and likely to participate in reactions compared to stable carbon-12.
Caebon-14 is a radioactive isotope and can decay.
When a hydrogen-3 nucleus undergoes radioactive decay, it emits a beta particle (specifically an electron) and an anti-neutrino to transform into helium-3.
The half life of an isotope refers to the rate at which a radioactive isotope undergoes radioactive decay. Specifically, it is the amount of time it takes for half of a given sample of a radioactive isotope to decay.
That depends on the type of decay, alpha and beta decay change the atom into a different element but gamma decay does not.
Radioactive Carbon and stable Carbon both have the same number of protons and electrons. This means they both behave "chemically" the same way. For example, you can just as easily have Carbon Dioxide made from radioactive Carbon as stable Carbon.
Particles or electromagnetic radiation are emitted.
Bohrium is a synthetic radioactive element. It does not exist in nature.
The lightest "element" that can undergo radioactive decay is the isotope hydrogen-3, which undergoes beta decay. The lightest element with no radioactively stable isotopes is technetium, and its isotopes have different modes of decay.
