In nature, it can transform into another element that is stable. Example: carbon-14 into nitrogen-14.
There are many radio active elements which decay into lighter elements and give off charged particles in the process. The best place to find this voluminous information is in a 'Table of the Nuclides'.
Darmstadtium is a synthetic radioactive element. It does not exist in nature.
Polonium (Po) is the only Group 16 element that undergoes natural radioactive disintegration.
Astatine is a radioactive, natural element and also a nonmetal similar to halogens.
The compositionn of a rock containing a radioactive element changes over time by: decaying and changing into another element; the amount of the radio active element goes down, but the amount of the new element goes up.
There are many radio active elements which decay into lighter elements and give off charged particles in the process. The best place to find this voluminous information is in a 'Table of the Nuclides'.
Bohrium is a synthetic radioactive element. It does not exist in nature.
Darmstadtium is a synthetic radioactive element. It does not exist in nature.
A radioactive element is an element with an unstable nucleus that emits radiation as it decays into a more stable form. This radiation can be in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. Radiation emitted by radioactive elements can pose health risks and is used in various applications such as medical imaging and energy production.
Polonium (Po) is the only Group 16 element that undergoes natural radioactive disintegration.
By losing protons. Atomic number determines what kind of element it is. ---------------------------- This can only happen if the nucleus changes its number of protons because the nucleus is unstable and undergoes radioactive decay. As it changes it will emit some form of radiation
Astatine is a radioactive, natural element and also a nonmetal similar to halogens.
A radioactive element that undergoes nuclear decay to transform into a different element is called a parent isotope. The decay process involves the emission of particles and/or energy until the parent isotope reaches a stable form, known as the daughter isotope. This decay process is used in radiometric dating to determine the age of rocks and minerals.
Francium is a radioactive chemical element an can disintegrate.
IT changes into a new, usually lighter element.
This is a radioactive chemical element.
All the atoms of an element have the same number of protons in the nucleus of each atom. When the nucleus of a radioactive element such as Uranium splits into pieces, the "new" atoms formed have smaller numbers of protons in each atom.
