What follows radioactive decay?
The final product is a stable isotope, but what it is depends on the decay. The intermediate steps constitute what is called a decay chain. For example, one well known decay chain is that of thorium-232, which goes through a series of radioactive isotopes decaying each to the next. The final product is lead-208, which stops the process since it is stable and does not decay further. Other decay chains produce other results. Sometimes the first decay produces a stable result, as in the case of tritium, which decays to helium-3.
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
When was the song radioactive made?
"Radioactive" was first sent to radio on April 2, 2012.
What is the nuclear decay equation for plutonium 239?
The first step is an alpha decay to (guess what!) uranium 235. You can probably take it from there.
What song did queens of the stone age perform on Saturday night live?
On this last Saturday Night Live in 2010, Radioactive and Pyro. Radioactive the first, Pyro the second.
What decays first duriing radioactive decay?
No, radioactive decay is not a chemical reaction. Radioactive decay is a type of change in the nucleus of an atom that results from instability in that nucleus. And that is a nuclear reaction rather than a chemical one.
What kinetics does radioactive decay obey?
First order
What is the difference between Chemical kinetics vs Chemical decay?
Chemical decay, also known as radioactive decay, is a process that occurs naturally (usually in isotopes or unstable substances) Chemical Kinetics is one of the ways you can analyze radioactive decay. Although it should be noted that radioactive decay undergoes first order decay when using Chemical Kinetics.
Is the percentage of radioactive atoms that decay during one half-life always the same?
No time required for completion of first half life is not same as 2nd one.Even it has been found that time required for 99.9% completion is almost 10 times of half life period.

What is the decay element of uranium?
It is not yet discovered since all of the uranium isotopes are having half life for several millions of years. We would be able to find it after atleast 700 millions of years.
How do geologists measure the precise age of earth?
There are a few ways. First they use uranium 235 to date the oldest rocks. U 235 is radioactive so it has a half life that can be meaured.
Compare and contrast between relative and radioactive dating?
First of all, this is not a relationship question. Radioactive dating is taking an element from a sample with a known rate of decay and invert the equation to find the time(date) from which it started to decay. Relative dating determines the period of time from which an object come from based on technology, soil, anthropology, etc.
What was thought to have been a source of heat when Earth first formed?
1.decay of radioactive isotopes 2.bombardment by meteorites 3.compression by overlying materials
Which order of reaction does radioactive elements involve?
I believe it is a first order reaction. So the integrated rate law would be: ln[A]final = -kt + ln[A]inital
What is meant by the order of a chemical reaction?
The reaction order is the law in which determines which elements will begin the process first. It is dependent upon the Kinetic energy of each element. The reaction order in chemistry is difficult to determine.
How can you say that radioactive decay is random unless you know that the nuclides are identical in the first place?
Radioactive decay is a random event. But we can assess it by statistical analysis of a large number of decay events across time for a given radionuclide. Standard stastical analysis ideas apply. The way we know that it is the radionuclide we specify is that we refine the sample chemically. Then we look at the decay mode. If it is a situation where there is particle emission, we can identify the particle and the energy it comes out at. If its electromagnetic, we can specify an energy associated with the photon. The mode of decay and the energy cast off are the ways we can insure our "count" of the decay events specifically targets the radionuclide we are investigating. That and the applied chemistry we specified to clean up the sample. We're good at this radioactive decay thing. We can count even a very few decay events, and do so accurately across time (though more is better). And because we've done our homework as regards type of decay and energies, we know what it is that is decaying, and how long it is taking to decay. We can arrive at a half-life for a given radionuclide. A link can be found below.
