What is nuclear isotopes?
A radioactive isotope is a form of an element that is unstable and eventually decays into a different element. For example, most Carbon has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, and is stable. This is called Carbon12.Carbon14 with 6 protons and 8 neutrons, is unstable and decays by releasing a beta particle from its nucleus to become a stable isotope, Nitrogen14. which has 7 protons and 7 neutrons.That refers to an isotope that is unstable - the atoms will decay after a while.
What is the percentage of radioactive nuclei left after 3 half lives have passed?
12.5%
What happens to the amount of parent isotope in a rock with time?
The amount of parent isotope in a rock decreases with time as it decays into daughter isotopes. This is known as radioactive decay, and the rate of decay is constant for a particular parent isotope. By measuring the ratio of parent to daughter isotopes, scientists can determine the age of the rock using radiometric dating techniques.
Why is carbon-14 is a good way to date things?
Carbon 14 is a radioisotope which decays over time, measuring the amount of it will indicate how much has decayed and hence how old the object is.
Does The amount of radioactive carbon in your body increases at the time of death?
The amount of radioactive carbon in the body is fixed at the time of death. After death, the carbon would the begin to decay.
What happens after a mummy was mummified?
It was wrapped and left to dry
What happens when a beta decays?
Every one comes in Tension..!
What happens to food when spoiling occurs?
It decays and grows mold and maggots
What happens to carbon when plants and animals die?
it decays until there is nothing left of it
What happens when nuclei decays?
The cell breaks down, which is part of the decaying of anything.

Name 4 thing that affect how fast an organism decays?
temperatures the amount of moisture that wwhat i know it
What happens to a decaying tooth if a dentist isn't seen and the tooth decays below the gum line?
poo grows on it :>
What happens to an animal when it is euthanized?
The body decays, or gets eaten by other animals.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CORAL DIE?
The tissues that make up their bodies decays and falls apart. If it is a hard coral, then a calcium carbonate skeleton is left behind.
