What term indicates the process in which unstable nuclide release radiation?
If it is related to Nuclear studies, then the answer would be fusion.
What type of radioactive decay releases energy from the nucleus without a change of protons neutrons?
This is a gamma-decay.
What type of reaction results in the change of protons and neutrons?
radioactive decay
The half-life of a radioactive element is?
The time it takes for half of the atoms to decay, and become some other type of atom.
What is a by product of radioactive decay?
The 3 things that can happen during radioactive decay is the 3 parts of decay: Alpha decay, Beta decay, and Gamma decay. In alpha decay, which is the weakest part of decay, it has a positive helium neuclus(2 protons and 2 neutrons), and the particles will burn your skin, but can be easily stopped by a peice of paper. This is the most ionising as the helium nucleus can take electrons from other atoms and make them unstable. This can give rise to cancers as it distorts cells. In Beta decay (an electron or a positron) is emitted. In the case of electron emission, it is referred to as "beta minus" (β−). It can be stopped by 3mm of aluminum. Gamma decay, which is the strongest, can only be stopped by 3cm of lead. It has electromagnetic waves, it contains the most energy, and therefore is the most penetrating, but normally it just passes straight through the human body. Radioactive decay can be very harmful, and its best to stay away. This question has been anwsered by Rae-Ann Salisbury.
What type of radioactive decay the largest and most damaging particles?
alpha decay

Geothermal energy is caused by what type of decay?
It is Radioactive Decay.
What type of radioactive decay results in uranium becoming thorium?
Alpha decay
What determines the type of radioactive decay that occurs?
Rutherford
When radioactive decay occurs a atom is always produced by the action?
During any type of radioactive decay, one isotope (type of atom) will convert into a different isotope.
Which type of radioactive decay has the largest and most damaging particles?
Alpha decay has the largest and most damaging particles among the types of radioactive decay. This decay involves the emission of alpha particles, which are made up of two protons and two neutrons and have a relatively high energy level, making them more damaging to living tissues.
What type of radioactive decay results in uranium-238 becoming thorium-234?
Alpha decay
What type of radioactive decay releases energy from the nucleus without a change of protons neutrons?
This is a gamma-decay.
What type of radioactive decay resulted in uranium 238 becoming thorium 234 and how do you know?
This is an alpha decay.
What type of reaction results in the change of protons and neutrons?
radioactive decay
What is the lightest element that can undergo radioactive decay and what type of decay occurs in that element?
The lightest "element" that can undergo radioactive decay is the isotope hydrogen-3, which undergoes beta decay. The lightest element with no radioactively stable isotopes is technetium, and its isotopes have different modes of decay.
