When will an unstable nuclide stop emitting radiation?

An unstable nuclide will stop emitting radiation when it decays into a stable daughter nuclide. This decay process continues until a stable configuration is reached, which may take seconds to billions of years depending on the nuclide.


What happens to an atom whos nucleus decomposes?

It's called Radioactive Decay. It transforms the atom (or "parent nuclide") into a "daughter nuclide"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_decay


If a sample of radioactive materiel contains 17 daughter nuclide what percent of parent nuclide is present in the sample?

If there are 17 daughter nuclides, then this represents 17 half-lives. Each half-life corresponds to a 50% reduction in the parent nuclide. Therefore, 17 half-lives would result in 1/2^17 (0.0000763) or approximately 0.00763% of the original parent nuclide remaining in the sample.


What is the mass number of carbon-12 nuclide?

12. When a nuclide is (properly) named in the form [element name]-[number], the number is always the mass number.


Is a parent isotope more radioactive then a daughter isotope?

The daughter isotope is the result of the radioactive disintegration of the parent isotope. For example radium is a product of the uranium disintegration.The two isotopes have different chemical (different atomic numbers, etc.), physical and nuclear properties.


What is nuclides?

A configuration composed of Photons & Neutrons is called Nuclide's. There are 3000 nuclide's approximately all together (270 nuclide's are naturally forms)


When thorium decays by producing an alpha praticle the product nuclide is?

The decay of thorium by alpha decay the resultant nuclide is the element radium. The specific nuclide of radium cannot be determined unless we know which specific nuclide of thorium underwent alpha decay.


What is nuclide writing?

Nuclide writing is a notation system used to represent a specific nuclide of an element. It includes the chemical symbol, atomic number, and mass number of the nuclide. This notation is helpful for identifying different isotopes of an element.


How do you find the mass number of a nuclide?

The mass number of a nuclide is found by adding together the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the atom. It is represented by the symbol A in the nuclide symbol.


Name the nuclide that are sources of background radiation?

Isotopes of uranium, thorium, radium, radon, potassium, tritium, etc.
