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.
Which equation represents a spontaneous nuclear decay?
All nuclear decay is spontaneous.
Do element identities reamin the same or change during nuclear decay?
That depends on the nuclear decay type. For gamma decay, the identity does NOT change, but for alpha and beta, it does.
What is the nuclear decay equation for Chromium?
Natural chromium is stable and does not decay/
Which is not a type of nuclear decay?
zeyta
Is nuclear decay spontaneous or artificial?

What energy transformation occurs during radioactive decay?
nuclear energy to thermal and radiant energy
What are the forms of nuclear decay?
what are the forms of nuclear decay
What is mass converted to in nuclear processes?
nuclear decay, such as alpha decay or beta decay.
Where do nuclear decay occur naturally?
Radioactive Decay occurs naturally all around us. If you test for radiation with a Geiger Counter, you will find that it picks up radiation in the air around you. Mostly, however, radioactive decay occurs in the earth's crust. I cannot name a specific element, as there are many that decay.
Transmutation reactions can occur when the?
In nuclear science, transmutation is where one chemical element or isotope is converted into another. It occurs when materials decay, or it can be caused by nuclear reaction.
Can Radioactive decay can involve electrons?
Yes. That's what "beta radiation" is. (occurs when a neutron becomes a proton).
Is an input of energy required in order for nuclear decay to happen in an atom?
no, its a purely statistical quantum process that occurs spontaneously.
What nuclear decay have similar qualities to helium nucleus?
Alpha nuclear decay
Which equation represents a spontaneous nuclear decay?
All nuclear decay is spontaneous.
Can Radioactive decay involve electrons?
Yes. That's what "beta radiation" is. (occurs when a neutron becomes a proton).
When an element undergoes nuclear transmutation the result is a completely different what?
When an element undergoes nuclear transmutation the result is a completely different element or isotope. All transmutation occurs through decay or nuclear reaction.
