What After the nucleus of a radioactive element undergoes the element can transform into?

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'.

What is meant by a radioactive element?

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.

How can an atoms of one element change into an atom of a different element?

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

An element that decays to another element over a period of time is?

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.

How can products of radioactive decay be a different 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.
