When a radioactive nucleus decays and forms a new nucleus is the new nucleus always radioactive?

No. A stable nucleus can form. If the new nucleus is radioactive, then it will contiue to decay until a non radioactive nucleus is attained.


What does it mean if an element is radioacitive?

If an element is radioactive, it refers to the stability of their atomic nucleus. If that atomic nucleus is not stable, it is considered radioactive.


Why dont radioactive elements have a stable nucleus?

By definition. If it were stable, then it would not be radioactive.


The nucleus or atom left behind when a nucleus disintegrates or splits is?

Sometimes radioactive


What is An unstable isotope is called what?

It isn't really an ELEMENT that is unstable, but an ISOTOPE. That means that in general, for the same element, some atoms will decay, and some will not - the difference being the number of neutrons in the nucleus.


What makes a nucleus radioactive?

If you are referring to a cell's nucleus than the simple answer is that's not radioactive. Radioactivity occurs when elemental atoms become unstable due to the loss or gain of additional neutrons; these unstable atoms are referred to as radioactive isotopes. If a cell's nucleus were radioactive it would not last very long, its structure and function would quickly degrade and collapse.


When was A Golden Field of Radioactive Crows created?

A Golden Field of Radioactive Crows was created in 2001.


What is an unstable nucleus that starts a decay process called?

A nucleus that starts to decay is called a radioactive nucleus or atom. It decays with a known and unique half life by several processes including but not limited to beta decay, alpha decay, electron capture decay, and positron emission.


Radioactive decay can be affected by what?

Most types of radioactive decay cannot be affected by anything. However, radioactive decay involving electron capture will be affected by the removal of electrons from around the nucleus. In the absence of orbital electrons, it cannot occur at all.


Is the best definition of radioactive decay?

Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of a nucleus into smaller parts.

Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of a nucleus into smaller parts.


What do electrons move around?

Within the electric field of a nucleus, electrons are most likely to be found far outside the nucleus. However, it is NOT the case that electrons are orbiting a nucleus like planets around a star.
