What is the first radioactive element that forms when uranium 238 decays?
The first radioactive element formed when uranium-238 decays is thorium-234. Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay to form thorium-234.
When a radon 222 nucleus decays what is the other product that forms?
Radon-222 undergoes alpha decay to produce polonium-218as a daughter.
What happens to the amount of nitrogen14 as the carbon14 decays?
As carbon-14 decays, it transforms into nitrogen-14 through the process of beta decay. So, the amount of nitrogen-14 increases as carbon-14 decays.
What is called after you die and your body decays?
After you die and your body decays, it is called decomposition. Decomposition is the process by which organic matter breaks down into simpler substances.
What does bismuth 210 become when it undergoes alpha decay?
bismuth 210 decays by beta decay to polonium 210 that decays by alpha decay to lead 206
What are two different forms of radioactive decay?
Alpha and beta decays.
What is the dark oganic matter that forms in soil as plant and animal matter decays?
humus
Where does the plutonium come from?
Uranium 238 is bombarded by neutrons, and forms Neptunium 238. Neptunium decays to form Plutonium 238.

The first radioactive element formed when uranium-238 decays is thorium-234. Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay to form thorium-234.
Where does the element plutonium come from?
Uranium 238 is bombarded by neutrons, and forms Neptunium 238. Neptunium decays to form Plutonium 238.
When a radon 222 nucleus decays what is the other product that forms?

When an iodine 131 atom decays by emitting a beta particle and a gamma particle it forms?
When an iodine-131 atom decays by emitting a beta particle and a gamma particle, it forms xenon-131. The beta particle is an electron, while the gamma particle is a high-energy photon. This decay process helps iodine-131 become a stable element, xenon-131.
What is the positive charge of a neutron?
The question does not make sense. A neutron is neutral NOT positive. When a neutron decays, it forms a positively charged proton and a negatively charged electron and an antineutrino.
What type of radiation is emitted when carbon 14 is decays?
Carbon-14 decays by beta-, which emits a W- boson that immediately decays into an electron and an electron anti-neutrino.
What are the particles produced when a positive pion decays?
When a positive pion decays, it produces a muon and a neutrino.
When elements such as uranium and plutonium decay do they form different elements chemical reactions or larger compounds?
When an element "decays", it forms a different element. This is the definition of "decay" when referring to radioactive elements.
What it means when an element is radioactive?
Radioactive elements have unstable nucleii. When an unstable nucleus decays it emits energy in the form of electromagnetic waves and heavy particles and in the process forms new nucleii.
