What is the breakdown of a radioactive isotope of the same element or of another element?
radioactive decay
What radioactive element is the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms to decay?
The half-life
The half-life of a radioactive element is?
The time it takes for half of the atoms to decay, and become some other type of atom.
What are the properties of radioactive decay?
Radioactive decay has the following properties: 1. No element can completely decay. 2. The number of atoms decaying in a particular period is proportional to the number of atoms present in the beginning of that period. 3. Estimate of radioactive decay can be made by half life and decay constant of a radioactive element.
Is darmstadtium radioactive?
Darmstadtium is a synthetic radioactive element. It does not exist in nature.
What is the breakdown of a radioactive isotope of the same element or of another element?
radioactive decay
How is the radioactive decay of an element used to determine the age of a rock layers?
Radioactivity, and more specifically, radioactive decay, involves the spontaneous expulsion of a proton from the nucleus of an atom. It is important to note that this process is random and spontaneous; in other words, we can never know exactly when an element will decay.
Can a radioactive element completely decay so that it is all stable matter?
A radioactive element (atom) can decay up to a stable isotope.
What is the lightest element that can undergo radioactive decay and what type of decay occurs in that element?
The lightest "element" that can undergo radioactive decay is the isotope hydrogen-3, which undergoes beta decay. The lightest element with no radioactively stable isotopes is technetium, and its isotopes have different modes of decay.
How can this be used to calculate the amount of a radioactive element compared to its original amount?
To calculate the amount of a radioactive element compared to its original amount, you need to use the radioactive decay equation: A = A₀ * e^(-λt), where A is the final amount, A₀ is the initial amount, λ is the decay constant, and t is the time elapsed. By plugging in the values for A₀, t, and λ, you can determine the final amount of the radioactive element.
What kind of decay can change one element to another kind of element?
That would be radioactive decay.
What characterizes a radioactive element?
A radioactive element is characterized by having unstable atomic nuclei that decay and emit radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. This decay process results in the transformation of the element into a different element or isotope.
The time it takes for half of the radioactive element to decay is the element's what?
The time it takes for half the atoms in a sample of a radioactive element to decay is called the half life.
The time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample of a radioactive element to decay is the element's?
i got no idea
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.
Radioactive decay occurs when?
When a radioactive element slowly turns into another element/s when it emits various particles.
Can one element change into a different element?
Yes, but only if it is radioactive. Radioactive elements change into different elements through radioactive decay.
