The nucleus is too large to be stable. There is the theory of grouping of nucleons into alpha particles inside the nucleus and, through oscillations of the nucleus, one of these on one end of the nucleus can be repelled with a great enough force to push it out of the nucleus.
What else can I help you with?
Can any explain the formation of francium by the radioactive decay of uranium and actinium?
227Ac----- alpha decay---- 223Fr
What is more radioactive than pure uranium?
Many radioactive isotopes are more radioactive than the naturally occurring uranium isotopes:All fission product isotopes are more radioactive (e.g. iodine-131, strontium-90)Most radioactive isotopes in the uranium --> lead decay chain are more radioactive (e.g. radium, radon, polonium)Plutonium is more radioactiveTritium is more radioactiveCarbon-14 is more radioactiveArtificially produced uranium isotopes are more radioactive (e.g. uranium-233, uranium-236)etc.
Which colorless gas produced by the radioactive decay of uranium-238 is considered to be a cancer-causing agent?
Radon is a radioactive gas that can cause cancer.
Which colorless and odorless gas produced by radioactive decay of uranium-238 is considered to be a cancer causing agent?
That'd be radon
What is the radioactive decay process of U 238?
The process of a radioactive decay is atomic nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy by emitting ionizing particles
What do uranium isotopes decay into?
See the link below for radioactive decay chains.
What type of radioactive decay results in uranium becoming thorium?
Alpha decay
What element is obtained through the decay of radium?
Radium naturally decays into radon, which is a radioactive noble gas. This decay process is one of the steps in the radioactive decay chain of uranium-238.
What causes Uranium to be radioactive?
Uranium is radioactive because it is an unstable element with a nucleus that can undergo radioactive decay. During this decay process, uranium releases energy in the form of alpha, beta, or gamma radiation as it transforms into other elements over time. This radioactive decay is what makes uranium useful for nuclear energy and weapons.
What element is nonradioactive in the chain decay of uranium?
Only the end product of the decay chain of uranium, a non radioactive isotope of lead.
Can you get power from the radioactive element Uranium?
Yes, the radioactive decay of Uranium-235 is used to produce power in nuclear power plants.
What type of radioactive decay results in uranium-238 becoming thorium-234?
Alpha decay
Why wouldn't heating radioactive uranium make it decay faster?
Heating radioactive uranium would not make it decay faster because the decay rate of a radioactive material is a fundamental property of that specific isotope and is not affected by external factors like temperature. The decay rate of uranium is governed by its half-life, which is a constant characteristic of the isotope. Heating the uranium would not alter this intrinsic property and thus would not impact the decay rate.
What is the transformation of uranium?
- radioactive decay - nuclear fission - nuclear reactions
How uranium effect your environment?
Uranium undergoes radioactive decay and emits alpha particles which can damage tissue.
Can any explain the formation of francium by the radioactive decay of uranium and actinium?
227Ac----- alpha decay---- 223Fr
What type of radioactive decay resulted in uranium 238 becoming thorium 234 and how do you know?
This is an alpha decay.
