A radioactive reaction is a process in which unstable atomic nuclei decay into more stable forms by emitting particles such as alpha or beta particles, along with gamma rays. This decay releases energy and transforms the original element into a different element or isotope. These reactions are used in various fields such as medicine, industry, and energy production.
What else can I help you with?
Are radioactive reactions redox reaction?
Radioactive reaction is a red-ox reaction. This is a nuclear decay.
What type of reaction results in the change of protons and neutrons?
radioactive decay
What happens to the radioactive isotopes that are released in a nuclear reaction?
they decay over time
Is the parent element always radioactive in a nuclear reaction?
No, the parent element in a nuclear reaction is not always radioactive. While many parent isotopes are indeed radioactive and decay into stable or unstable daughter isotopes, there are also stable isotopes that can undergo nuclear reactions without being radioactive themselves. For example, stable isotopes can be involved in nuclear reactions such as neutron capture or fusion, but they do not decay over time like radioactive isotopes.
What reaction is used to radioactively label DNA?
The reaction used to radioactively label DNA is typically performed using a DNA polymerase enzyme along with radioactive nucleotides, such as [α-32P]dNTPs. This allows for the incorporation of the radioactive label into the DNA strand during the polymerase reaction.
Are radioactive reactions redox reaction?
Radioactive reaction is a red-ox reaction. This is a nuclear decay.
Is conversion by radioactive decay a chemical reaction?
No. It is a nuclear reaction - radioactive disintegration.
What type of reaction produces the most dangerous radioactive waste?
What type of reaction produces the most dangerous radioactive waste?
What makes a radioactive chain end?
The final product is not radioactive.
Is Radioactive decay a nuclear reaction?
yes
What type of reaction results in the change of protons and neutrons?
radioactive decay
What is used to change a stable isotope into a radioactive one?
A nuclear reaction
Can a substance be radioactive without a nuclear reaction taking place?
Yes, it is possible; disintegration is not considered a nuclear reaction.
How do the waste products of a fusion reaction differ from the products of a fission reaction?
Most (but not all) fusion products are non-radioactive. Virtually all fission products are strongly radioactive beta or gamma emitters.
Why can radioactive isotopes be followed through a chemical reaction?
They emit radiation that can be detected with various radiation measurement tools. Usually the isotopes will be in only one of the products of the chemical reaction, making it radioactive and the others nonradioactive.
Are glow sticks radioactive?
No, glow sticks are not radioactive. They emit light through a chemical reaction, typically involving hydrogen peroxide and a phenyl oxalate ester. The light emitted is a result of this chemical reaction, not radioactivity.
What does hyperthyroid disorders treated with radioactive iodine cause?
Basically, radioactive iodine is used to kill cancer cells, and thyroid tissue.
