After disintegration all radioactive elements are transformed in other elements.
This family is called, after IUPAC nomenclature -- actinoids.
No. The sun is made up of a ball of gases, and the only radioactive gas we know of is Radon. Also, most radioactive elements are man-made.
All radioactive elements are unstable. Most isotopes of elements in periodic table are radioactive. Overall, most of the elements are unstable but they are present in traces on earth. Most elements on earth are stable.
Yes, curium is a highly radioactive element that is considered dangerous when handled in large quantities or in close proximity to humans. It can pose health risks if not properly handled and controlled due to its ability to emit harmful radiation.
No, substances can be elements or compounds. Elements are pure substances made up of only one type of atom, while compounds are made up of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together.
The actinides
The family of radioactive elements is called the Actinides. This group includes elements such as uranium, thorium, and plutonium, which are known for their radioactive properties.
This family is called, after IUPAC nomenclature -- actinoids.
Radioactive elements make up a small fraction of all naturally occurring elements in Earth's crust. Most elements are stable and non-radioactive. However, even though they are a minority, radioactive elements play important roles in various scientific, medical, and industrial applications.
No. The sun is made up of a ball of gases, and the only radioactive gas we know of is Radon. Also, most radioactive elements are man-made.
Radioactive elements are naturally occurring elements with unstable atomic nuclei that emit radiation as they decay. Common examples include uranium, thorium, and radium. These elements can be found in minerals, rocks, and soil.
The atoms that are radioactive are those with unstable nuclei. There is no easy way to tell which is which, so the isotope has to be looked up. All elements have at least some radioactive isotopes. There are 36 elements for which all radioactive isotopes are synthetic or fission products, so for practical purposes, there are no radioactive isotopes of them in nature, except where introduced by human activity. They include most of the common elements we find in nature, but not all. There are 44 elements that are found as stable isotopes, but at least traces of radioactive isotopes are found in nature. Among these are hydrogen, carbon, sodium, silicon, chlorine, and potassium, all of which are necessary for life. Radioactive potassium, in particular, is present as 0.012% of all potassium. For another group of elements, including technetium, promethium, and all with atomic numbers of 83 (bismuth) or more, there is no isotope that is stable.
All radioactive elements are unstable. Most isotopes of elements in periodic table are radioactive. Overall, most of the elements are unstable but they are present in traces on earth. Most elements on earth are stable.
Over 99.999% of argon is not radioactive. A trace of radioactive argon-39 can be found in nature, but it is not significant. Synthetic radioactive isotopes of argon exist, as they do for all elements.
Matter include and others entities than elements and compounds.
Not all of the elements are present in the Earth's atmosphere.
Elements are made up of atoms, not molecules. Atoms are the smallest unit of an element that retains its properties. When atoms of different elements combine chemically, they form molecules.
