What else can I help you with?
Are there any non examples of radioactive decay?
Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are processes that involve nuclear reactions but are not examples of radioactive decay. Chemical reactions, such as burning wood, do not involve nuclear processes and are also not examples of radioactive decay.
Are valence electrons only found in radioactive isotopes?
No, valence electrons are found in all elements, not just in radioactive isotopes. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom and they play a crucial role in determining the chemical properties of an element.
What term indicates the process in which unstable nuclide release radiation?
If it is related to Nuclear studies, then the answer would be fusion.
Does gamma ray beta or alpha release electrons?
Gamma rays do not release electrons; they are a form of electromagnetic radiation and do not consist of particles like alpha or beta particles. Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons, while beta particles are high-energy, high-speed electrons or positrons. In radioactive decay, beta decay specifically involves the transformation of a neutron into a proton, resulting in the emission of an electron. Alpha decay involves the release of an alpha particle, which does not involve electron emission.
How can coin- tossing simulate radioactive decay?
Coin-tossing can simulate radioactive decay by assigning a probability of heads or tails to represent decay or stability of a radioactive nucleus. Consistent with the decay probability of a radioactive substance, you can randomly flip the coin to determine decay events over time. Over multiple throws, you can track the number of heads to emulate the decay rate of a radioactive substance.
Radioactive decay involve electons?
radioactive decay does not involve electrons as its composed of alpha, beta and gamma rays
Will electrons will be emitted in a radioactive decay?
It does not usually involve the atom's electrons, except for a type of decay called K capture. But the beta particles ejected in what is called beta decay are either electrons or positrons.
Can Radioactive decay can involve electrons?
Yes. That's what "beta radiation" is. (occurs when a neutron becomes a proton).
Can Radioactive decay involve electrons?
Yes. That's what "beta radiation" is. (occurs when a neutron becomes a proton).

Radioactive decay can be affected by what?
Most types of radioactive decay cannot be affected by anything. However, radioactive decay involving electron capture will be affected by the removal of electrons from around the nucleus. In the absence of orbital electrons, it cannot occur at all.
Are valence electrons only found in radioactive isotopes?
No, valence electrons are found in all elements, not just in radioactive isotopes. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom and they play a crucial role in determining the chemical properties of an element.
What radioactive emanations have a charge of - 1?
Beta particle electrons (as opposed to Beta particle positrons which have + charge)
Radioactive decay does not involve electrons?
Actually there is a mode of radioactive decay which involves an atomic electron. It is called electron capture and results in the atomic number Z decreasing by 1 and the mass number A remaining the same. This happens in nuclei which have a deficiency of neutrons. No ion is formed, but a K or L x-ray can be emitted in addition to a neutrino and possible gamma rays.
What is the source of heat in the Earth interior?
The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.
When radioactive isotopes break down into other elements the process is called?
radioactive decay
When an atom lose electrons?
Radioactive decay and ionic bonds (if the bond is broken, the electron goes back).
