Stable isotopes do not undergo nuclear decay.

Hydrogen has three isotopes, two are stable and the third is unstable. They are ;_

protium; 1 proton , 0 neutrons and 1 electron (Stable) The commonest isotope of hydrogen.

deuterium ; 1 proton , 1 neutron and 1 electron (stable). Also known as 'heavy hydrogen - used to make heavy water).

tritium ; 1 proton , 2 neutrons, and 1 electron (unstable - undergoes radio-active decay).

What is the stable isotope that is formed by the breakdown of a radioactive isotope?

The stable isotope formed by the breakdown of a radioactive isotope is called a daughter isotope. This process is known as radioactive decay, where a radioactive isotope transforms into a stable daughter isotope through the emission of particles or energy.

When a unstable isotope decays the daughter isotope that result is always a stable isotope true or false?

False. When an unstable isotope decays, the resulting daughter isotope may or may not be stable. Some daughter isotopes are stable, while others may still be radioactive and undergo further decay.
