What is a parent isotope?
These terms apply to the decay of radionuclides. The parent isotope is 'the starting point' of a decay series that when it decays, by giving off radiation, changes into another element, or isotope of the original element (the daughter isotope). For example: When Uranium 238 (parent isotope) decays and gives off an alpha particle, it transmutes into Thorium 234 (the daughter isotope).
What is the name of the daughter nuclide?
The daughter nuclide is the atom or atoms that result when a parent nuclide decays through emission of ionizing radiation or through fission.
What is a Radioactive Parent?
Radio active parent elements decay to stable daughter elements i.e. the radio active parent Potassium 40 decays to Argon 40 Each radioactive isotope has it's own half life A half life is the time it takes for the parent radioactive element to decay to a daughter product, Potassium 40 decays to Argon 40 with a half life of 1 1/4 billion years. Therin lies the problem of storing nuclear waste
What happens when a radioactive isotope decays?
It emits an electron and an antineutrino and increases by one in atomic number while ending up with one fewer neutrons, or it emits a positron and a neutrino and decreases by one in atomic number while ending up with one more neutron. In both cases the total number of protons and neutrons remains unchanged, and the number of orbital electrons will eventually change to match the new atomic number.
What do scientists have to know about the new nucleus to determine whether the newly formed nucleus is that of a new element or that of a new isotope of a known element?
They can tell whether the nucleus formed is that of a new element or that of an isotope by determining the number of protons inside the nucleus. If the number of protons are different, then it is a different element (not necessarily new). If the number of protons are the same, then it is an isotope.
When an isotope in the rock decays a new formed?
element
When an isotope in the rock decays a new what formed?
element
When an isotope in the rock decays a new is formed?
Surely, this is a question to homework... Yes? Well... I'm not quite sure myself, but I believe a new element is formed.

What new atom is formed as tritium decays?
Tritium decay to helium-3.
What is the name of the daughter nuclide?
The daughter nuclide is the atom or atoms that result when a parent nuclide decays through emission of ionizing radiation or through fission.
Neptunium's only naturally occurring isotope 237 93Np decays by emitting one alpha particle one beta particle and one gamma ray What is the new atom formed from this decay?
The new atom formed from the decay of Neptunium-237 is Protactinium-233. After emitting an alpha particle (Helium-4 nucleus), a beta particle (electron or positron), and a gamma ray (photon), Neptunium-237 transmutes into Protactinium-233.
How can scientist determine whether the nucleus formed is that of new element or that of new isotope of known element?
They can tell whether the nucleus formed is that of a new element or that of an isotope by determining the number of protons inside the nucleus. If the number of protons are different, then it is a different element (not necessarily new). If the number of protons are the same, then it is an isotope.
Scientists determine whether the atoms are formed are a new element or a new isotope or a element?
because they are mad
How is the rock medimorfic rock formed?
Metamorphic rocks are formed when heat and presser shape an old rock into a new rock

Why is rock formed at th ridges called new rock?
Since the rock just came up and cooled, it's "new oceanic rock." Because... it's new rock. It's the youngest rock. It just came out of the ground and cooled, making it rock. Or Because new crust is being formed while the old crust is being pushed away.
