No, it's called "radioactive." "Retroactive" is something that's active in regards to the past.
Atoms that have gained energy are called excited atoms. This means that their electrons have moved to higher energy levels, and they are in an unstable state before they release the energy in the form of light or heat to return to a lower energy state.
Fat decomposes into fatty acids and glycerol through a process called lipolysis. This breakdown of fat allows it to be used for energy production in the body.
Heating can decompose mercuric oxide into mercury and oxygen gas.
The mass of unstable atoms can vary widely depending on the specific isotope and the decay process involved. Unstable atoms typically have a higher mass compared to stable atoms due to the presence of excess energy or additional subatomic particles. When unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay, they can transform into more stable elements by emitting particles and energy.
Unstable elements that decay or break down into different elements are called radioactive elements. These elements have an unstable atomic nucleus that undergoes radioactive decay, transforming into a different element and releasing energy in the process. Examples of radioactive elements include uranium, radium, and plutonium.
This is a radioactive isotope.
Nuclear decay is a process where an unstable nucleus releases energy in the form of radiation (such as alpha, beta, or gamma particles) to become more stable. This energy release can take the form of heat, light, or kinetic energy, depending on the type of decay.
The elements described are said to be radioactive.
They obtain energy in much the same way as people do. They take organic matter called detritus, and take the chemical potential energy out of it.
Atoms that have gained energy are called excited atoms. This means that their electrons have moved to higher energy levels, and they are in an unstable state before they release the energy in the form of light or heat to return to a lower energy state.
When a large unstable atom splits into two or more smaller atoms, it is called nuclear fission. This process releases a large amount of energy and can result in a chain reaction if not properly controlled.
Fat decomposes into fatty acids and glycerol through a process called lipolysis. This breakdown of fat allows it to be used for energy production in the body.
yes. glucose metabolises and decomposes to form carbon dioxide, water with the release of energy
Ambient heat
Radioactive decay
They are all required to drive the carbon/energy cycle.
Heating can decompose mercuric oxide into mercury and oxygen gas.
