What else can I help you with?
Do radioactive atoms have different atomic weights than non radioactive atoms of the same element?
yes
What happens to the numbers of radioactive and daughter atoms as the simulation proceeds?
As the simulation proceeds, the number of radioactive atoms decreases due to their decay into daughter atoms. Conversely, the number of daughter atoms increases as more radioactive atoms decay over time. This process continues until a stable ratio is reached, where the decay of parent atoms and the formation of daughter atoms balance out. Eventually, the count of radioactive atoms will approach zero while the number of daughter atoms may stabilize at a constant level.
What radioactive element is the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms to decay?
The half-life
Where do radioactive atoms start on the periodic table?
Radioactive atoms can be found throughout the periodic table. They can be naturally occurring elements like uranium and thorium, or they can be created synthetically in laboratories by bombarding stable atoms with particles.
Do all atoms give out radiation?
No, not all atoms give off radiation. Only certain types of unstable atoms, known as radioactive atoms, undergo radioactive decay and emit radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays.
Do radioactive atoms have different atomic weights than non radioactive atoms of the same element?
yes
How do nuclear atoms differ from regular atoms?
All atoms are nuclear, in that they all have nuclei. Some atoms have unstable nuclei, making them radioactive. I'm afraid I have no idea what you mean by "nuclear atoms," unless you meant to say radioactive atoms, in which case the answer is "they have unstable nuclei and they're radioactive."
Are radioactive atoms stable?
No
Are all atoms of actinides radioactive?
Yes. All of the actinides are radioactive.
What happens to the numbers of radioactive and daughter atoms as the simulation proceeds?
As the simulation proceeds, the number of radioactive atoms decreases due to their decay into daughter atoms. Conversely, the number of daughter atoms increases as more radioactive atoms decay over time. This process continues until a stable ratio is reached, where the decay of parent atoms and the formation of daughter atoms balance out. Eventually, the count of radioactive atoms will approach zero while the number of daughter atoms may stabilize at a constant level.
Do the numbers of radioactive and daughter atoms change at the same rate throughtout the simulation?
The numbers of radioactive and daughter atoms may or may not change at the same rate throughout simulation when compared to each other. Atoms generally start out at a higher rate of speed, and decrease to a lower one.
What radioactive element is the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms to decay?
The half-life
Which atoms are least likely to be radioactive?
Atoms with stable nuclei are least likely to be radioactive. Typically, atoms with an even number of protons and neutrons are more stable and less likely to undergo radioactive decay. This includes elements such as carbon-12, oxygen-16, and nitrogen-14.
What happens to atoms that are radioactive?
Radioactive atoms undergo spontaneous decay, emitting particles or energy in the form of radiation. This process transforms the atoms into different elements or isotopes, creating new elements that may also be radioactive. This decay continues until the atom reaches a stable state.
Can atoms of radioactive element change into atoms of another element by emitting radiation?
Yes
What are atoms that emit particles and energy from their nuclei?
radioactive
Where do radioactive atoms start on the periodic table?
Radioactive atoms can be found throughout the periodic table. They can be naturally occurring elements like uranium and thorium, or they can be created synthetically in laboratories by bombarding stable atoms with particles.
