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.
Why do unstable nuclei undergo nuclear decay?
The simple answer is to release excess energy and thus become more stable.The full answer requires some understanding of Quantum Mechanics, as it is a quantum process and even though an atom has excess energy to release its current state may be one that Quantum Mechanics prohibits (or encourages) certain changes from occurring.
What radioactive decay processes have no transmutation?
Only gamma, it is the process by which a metastable excited nuclear isomer of an isotope relaxes down to the ground state of the same isotope. Some metastable states must undergo multiple gamma decays through less excited metastable states to reach the ground state.
Does silicon undergo radioactive decay?
The 3 isotopes that make up all naturally occurring silicon (28, 29, 30) on earth are all stable and thus do not undergo radioactive decay. But other silicon isotopes that are lighter or heavier can be produced by particle accelerators, nuclear reactors, nuclear explosions, or rarely cosmic rays do undergo radioactive decay via either -Beta, +Beta, or Gamma emission depending on isotope.Silicon does exist in space near very active stars, supernovas, etc. in the form of isotopes that undergo radioactive decay.The longest lived silicon isotope (32) that will undergo radioactive decay, has a halflife of roughly 700 years and thus will effectively completely decay to stable sulfur-32 in less than 4000 years. All other silicon isotopes that undergo radioactive decay have halflives so short that they finish decaying to stable isotopes of other elements in much less than a single day.
What is allopatric evolution?
think Darwin's finches and galapagos tortoises... speciation that occurs when biological populations of the same species become isolated due to geographical changes such as mountain building or social changes such as emigration. The isolated populations then undergo genotypic and/or phenotypic divergence as: (a) they become subjected to different selective pressures, (b) they independently undergo genetic drift, and (c) different mutations arise in the populations' gene pools.[1]
What is the process in which substances undergo chemical changes called?
chemical changes

What process do frogs undergo that physically changes them from from a tadpole to an adult tetrapod?
metamorphosis
What process do frogs undergo that physically changes that from a tadpole to an adult tetra-pod?
metamorphosis
Which substance is most likely to undergo nuclear fusion?
Hydrogen is the element that is most likely to undergo nuclear fusion.
What is the process of a solid turning into a gas is called?
When a solid changes state directly into a gas, we say it will sublime, or undergo sublimation.
Does all elements undergo nuclear decay?
No.
The process in which arthropod larvae that don't resemble the adults undergo dramatic changes before becoming adults is known as?
Complete Metamorphosis
What is the process when a solid turns to gas?
it is called deposition
What do you understand by the term radioactive?
It refers to elements that undergo nuclear fission and, in the process, emit atomic particles (alpha and beta particles) and energy (gamma rays).
Why does music undergo radical changes?
dergo radical changes
What is the process the H2o molecules undergo when it changes from gas to liquid?
The attraction of deestablished electrons between them becomes much weaker, almost nonexistent.
