What else can I help you with?
Do radioactive atoms have different atomic weights than non radioactive atoms of the same element?
yes
What happens to the numbers of radioactive and daughter atoms as the simulation proceeds?
As the simulation proceeds, the number of radioactive atoms decreases due to their decay into daughter atoms. Conversely, the number of daughter atoms increases as more radioactive atoms decay over time. This process continues until a stable ratio is reached, where the decay of parent atoms and the formation of daughter atoms balance out. Eventually, the count of radioactive atoms will approach zero while the number of daughter atoms may stabilize at a constant level.
Do all atoms have the same protons?
In respect to different elements, no they don't, in respect to like atoms of one particular element, yes they do. The electrons are the particles that vary from like atoms of the same element. When the electrons and protons are uneven within an atom, you have a radioactive element.
What radioactive element is the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms to decay?
The half-life
Isotopes of elements?
Isotopes of elements are atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This causes isotopes of the same element to have different atomic masses. Isotopes can be stable or unstable, with unstable isotopes undergoing radioactive decay.
Do radioactive atoms have different atomic weights than non radioactive atoms of the same element?
yes
Do the numbers of radioactive and daughter atoms change at the same rate throughtout the simulation?
The numbers of radioactive and daughter atoms may or may not change at the same rate throughout simulation when compared to each other. Atoms generally start out at a higher rate of speed, and decrease to a lower one.
Is the percentage of radioactive atoms that decay during one half-life always the same?
Yes, the percentage of radioactive atoms that decay during one half-life is always the same, which is 50%. This means that half of the radioactive atoms present will undergo radioactive decay within each half-life duration.
Which statement is true about half-lives?
A. Different atoms of the same nuclide have different half-lives.B. each radioactive nuclide has its own half-life.C. All radioactive nuclides of an element have the same half-life.D. All radioactive nuclides have the same half-life.
How do nuclear atoms differ from regular atoms?
All atoms are nuclear, in that they all have nuclei. Some atoms have unstable nuclei, making them radioactive. I'm afraid I have no idea what you mean by "nuclear atoms," unless you meant to say radioactive atoms, in which case the answer is "they have unstable nuclei and they're radioactive."
Are radioactive atoms stable?
No
Will an atom with more neutrons react identically to an atom of the same element with fewer neutrons?
Not always. Some atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons are radioactive, whereas the other atoms are not.
How are the earth sun and moon the same?
They are al in space, and made of the same materials and atoms.
Are all atoms of actinides radioactive?
Yes. All of the actinides are radioactive.
Does the Sun have radioactive energy?
No, the Sun does not produce energy through radioactivity. The Sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion reactions in its core, where hydrogen atoms are fused into helium, releasing vast amounts of light and heat in the process.
As a sample of a radioactive element decays its half-life?
The half-life of a radioactive element is the time it takes for half of the atoms in a sample to decay. As the sample decays, the number of radioactive atoms decreases while the number of stable atoms increases. The process continues in this manner, with each half-life reducing the amount of radioactive material by half.
What happens to the numbers of radioactive and daughter atoms as the simulation proceeds?
As the simulation proceeds, the number of radioactive atoms decreases due to their decay into daughter atoms. Conversely, the number of daughter atoms increases as more radioactive atoms decay over time. This process continues until a stable ratio is reached, where the decay of parent atoms and the formation of daughter atoms balance out. Eventually, the count of radioactive atoms will approach zero while the number of daughter atoms may stabilize at a constant level.
