This isotope is transformed in another isotope of another element.
What else can I help you with?
What radioisotope undergoes beta decay and has a half life of less than a minute?
N-16
How does a PET Scan use Radioisotope decay?
A PET scan uses radioisotope decay by detecting the pair of annihilation photons emitted during the decay process.
What is the parent radioisotope if a beta decay produces neon-22?
Sodium-22
What is the parent radioisotope if a beta decay produces barium-137?
Cesium-137
If seaborgium undergoes alpha decay which element is created?
If seaborgium undergoes alpha decay, it would create rutherfordium as the resulting element.
What radioisotope undergoes beta decay and has a half life of less than a minute?
N-16
How does a PET Scan use Radioisotope decay?
A PET scan uses radioisotope decay by detecting the pair of annihilation photons emitted during the decay process.
What always occurs when a radioisotope emits radiation?
When a radioisotope emits radiation, it undergoes radioactive decay, transforming into a more stable element. This process releases energy in the form of radiation, which can be in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays.
What is a nucleus that is unstable and undergoes decay?
Atomic nuclei that are unstable and decaying are said to be radioactive. Radioactive decay involves alpha, beta and gamma particle emissions.
What does the half life tell about a radioisotope?
How long it takes for half of a sample to decay to another form.
What is the half lie of a radioisotope?
The half-life of a radioisotope is the time it takes for half of the radioactive nuclei in a sample to decay. It is a characteristic property of each radioisotope and determines the rate at which the isotopes decay.
Which radioisotope has an atom that emits a particle with a mass number of 0 and a charge of plus 1?
Proton emission is a type of radioactive decay where an atom emits a proton with a mass number of 0 and a charge of plus 1. An example of a radioisotope that undergoes proton emission is iodine-123.
What fraction of a radioisotope is remaining if it undergoes six half-lives?
If a radioisotope undergoes six half-lives, only (1/64) or (0.015625) of the original radioisotope remains, because half of the remaining material decays at each half-life.
What happens to the mass number when it undergoes beta decay?
nothing, but another isotope with the same atomic mass is formed
What does the half-life a radioisotope indicate?
The rate of decay for a radioactive sample
What does a half life of a radioisotope indicate?
The rate of decay for a radioactive sample
When bismuth-212 undergoes alpha decay, what does it become?
When bismuth-212 undergoes alpha decay, it becomes thallium-208.
