How do radioactive isotopes add to earths heat?
Radioactive isotopes, such as uranium and thorium, undergo radioactive decay, releasing energy in the form of heat. This heat contributes to the overall heat budget of Earth. Radioactive isotopes are present in the Earth's crust and mantle, and their decay helps maintain the planet's internal heat flow.
What is the time needed for half of a sample of a radioactive isotope to break down to form daughter isotopes called?
halflife
When does an unstable isotope break down into a stable isotope?
The process is called decay, or sometimes nuclear decay. A link can be found below.
What happens to all radioactive isotopes?
All radioactive isotopes will disintegrate.
What are Radioactive isotopes used for?
Some examples are deuterium and tritium which are radioactive isotopes of hydrogen.
Isotopes which have unstable nucleus and break down at a constant rate over time?
radioactive isotopes! :)
Which isotopes break down and give off radiation?
These are the radioactive unstable isotopes.
When radioactive isotopes break down into other elements the process is called?
radioactive decay

Isotopes with unstable nuclei are?
Isotopes with unstable nuclei are radioactive and can undergo radioactive decay to achieve a more stable state. This decay process involves the release of radiation such as alpha or beta particles. The unstable isotopes are often used in various applications, including medicine and energy production.

What is the slow breakdown of radioactive substances into more stable elements?
Radioactive elements break down in to stable isotopes through nuclear decay. The list of isotopes from a nuclear isotope to a stable isotope is called its decay chain.

What are isotopes considered radioactive?
Not all isotopes are radioactive; the radioactive isotopes are unstable and emit radiations.
How are radioactive isotopes different from isotopes?
Both isotopes and radioactive isotopes are pretty much the same but radioactive isotopes are better because it can be used to make medicine.
Does radioactive isotopes have a stable nuclei?
Radioactive isotopes are not stable.
Does sodium contain radioactive isotopes?
Sodium has no radioactive isotopes.
