It depends on 1)what the fuel isotope is, 2)how long you wait, and 3)luck.
Plutonium decays into uranium as well as helium(don't quote me on this), then uranium decays one of several ways, where the large chuck of the nucleus is lead, Mercury, gold, or another element, depending on the reaction energy
What else can I help you with?
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 is the breakdown of a radioactive isotope of the same element or of another element?
radioactive decay
What type of radioactive decay causes the radionuclide to become an element with a higher atomic number?
Alpha decay is the type of radioactive decay that causes the radionuclide to become an element with a higher atomic number. In alpha decay, the radionuclide emits an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons, resulting in the formation of a new element with a higher atomic number.
What is the process by which an element slowly decays over time?
It is through radioactive decay that a quantity of an unstable element will decay over time. A material that is unstable will undergo this process, and the sample is said to be radioactive.
Are all elements periodically change to become new element s?
No. Only radioactive elements, which undergo radioactive decay can change to different elements.
What is a colorless naturally occurring radioactive inert gaseous element formed by radioactive decay?
It is radon that we see formed from the decay of naturally radioactive substances in the earth's crust.
When an atom undergoes radioactive decay does it become a different element?
That depends on the type of decay, alpha and beta decay change the atom into a different element but gamma decay does not.
All substances that naturally undergo radioactive decay do so until they finally become a stable isotope of one particular element what is the element?
The decay of radioactive substances follows a decay chain that will sooner or later result in the appearance of a stable isotope of lead. There is an exception for the atoms of a few substances that have undergone decay by spontaneous fission.
How can element 92 become element 83?
Through radioactive decay, because Uranium (element 92) is unstable.
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 is the breakdown of a radioactive isotope of the same element or of another element?
radioactive 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 type of radioactive decay causes the radionuclide to become an element with a higher atomic number?
Alpha decay is the type of radioactive decay that causes the radionuclide to become an element with a higher atomic number. In alpha decay, the radionuclide emits an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons, resulting in the formation of a new element with a higher atomic number.
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.
What kind of decay can change one element to another kind of element?
That would be radioactive decay.
What is the process by which an element slowly decays over time?
It is through radioactive decay that a quantity of an unstable element will decay over time. A material that is unstable will undergo this process, and the sample is said to be radioactive.
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.
