What is the decay process that polonium undergoes?
All isotopes of polonium can undergo alpha decay, a small number of isotopes can also undergo beta decay, K capture decay, or gamma decay.
The nuclide Sn is unstable what decay types would Sn be expected to undergo?
The nuclide Sn can undergo beta-minus decay, beta-plus decay, electron capture, or alpha decay, depending on its specific isotope. Each decay type involves the transformation of the nucleus to a more stable state by emitting different particles or radiation.
Can an isotope have less number of neutrons?
absolutely. such isotopes are likely to decay by emitting positrons or by K capture, instead of by emitting electrons when they undergo beta type decay.
When an isotope is blank it does not undergo radioactive decay?
When an isotope is stable, it does not undergo radioactive decay. Stable isotopes have a balanced number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, which prevents them from spontaneously changing into another element over time.
Why does radon undergo radioactive decay?
No stable isotopes.
Does fermium-257 undergo nuclear decay?
Alpha decay to californium 253. The half life of fermium 257 is 100.5 days.
What is the decay process that polonium undergoes?

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.
What type of bonds does fermium form?
Fermium form ionic bonds.
Which two elements undergo alpha decay?
The two elements that undergo alpha decay are uranium and thorium.
What is it called when atoms are unstable and undergo a nuclear decay?
radioactive decay

Does all elements undergo nuclear decay?
No.
What type of element is fermium?
Fermium is an artificial element, solid, metal, radioactive, actinoid, atomic number 100.
Why does radon undergo radioactive decay?
No stable isotopes.
