During nuclear decay, radioisotopes of one element can change into one or more isotopes of a different element altogether.
B. The name of the element does not change during beta decay. The atomic number (Z) increases by one unit as a neutron is converted to a proton, while the mass number (A) remains the same.
helium-4
no you get a random element and you dont change it
According to Dalton's atomic theory chemical reactions occur when atoms are separated, joined, or rearranged. Atoms of one element, however, are never changed into atoms of another element as a result of a chemical reaction (it is possible only during nuclear reactions and radioactive disintegration).
Helium-3 is not produced; it is a naturally occurring isotope formed through the decay of tritium. It can also be extracted during the operation of nuclear reactors and obtained through the decay of tritium in nuclear weapons.
The term for the element that a radioactive isotope decays into is called the "daughter product". During radioactive decay, the original isotope transforms into a different element or isotope through a series of decay reactions.
That depends on the nuclear decay type. For gamma decay, the identity does NOT change, but for alpha and beta, it does.
Certain fissionable materials, usually a uranium or plutonium isotope.
It is called radioactive decay. During this process, an unstable isotope loses energy or particles to become a more stable element.
No, mass does not increase during a nuclear change. According to the principle of mass-energy equivalence (E=mc^2), the mass of the reactants is converted into energy during a nuclear change.
B. The name of the element does not change during beta decay. The atomic number (Z) increases by one unit as a neutron is converted to a proton, while the mass number (A) remains the same.
"Substance" is too fuzzy a word. Chemical reactions can change materials into other compounds, for example shiny iron into rust (Fe2O3). But it cannot change an element into another element. A nuclear reaction can do that, for example uranium into plutonium.
Plutonium, an element not found in nature, is formed from uranium during reactor operation
truuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeee
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
