Is the parent element always radioactive in a nuclear reaction?

No, the parent element in a nuclear reaction is not always radioactive. While many parent isotopes are indeed radioactive and decay into stable or unstable daughter isotopes, there are also stable isotopes that can undergo nuclear reactions without being radioactive themselves. For example, stable isotopes can be involved in nuclear reactions such as neutron capture or fusion, but they do not decay over time like radioactive isotopes.


What causes isotopes?

Isotopes are caused by variations in the number of neutrons in an atom's nucleus. This can result in different forms of the same element with the same number of protons but different atomic masses. Isotopes are naturally occurring and can also be intentionally created in nuclear reactions.


Why do isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties?

Chemical reactions involve electrons - not protons or neutrons. All isotopes of the same element have an identical number of electrons (just the number of neutrons differs) and hence the chemical properties are identical/very similar.


Which element in group 16 has unstable isotopes?

Polonium is the element in group 16 that has unstable isotopes. It is a radioactive element with no stable isotopes.


Does all atoms of a given element are alike in all respects?

No, not all atoms of a given element are alike in all respects. Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, leading to variations in atomic mass. This means isotopes of the same element may behave slightly differently in certain chemical reactions.

Do isotopes exist independently to form an element or do all the isotopes when combined constitute an element?

The ratio of isotopes are constant throughout the universe. In any random sample of any element, there will be a consistent ratio of isotopes of that element. This is what makes radiocarbon dating of ancient organic material possible.

How does an element differ from its isotopes?

Isotopes of the same element have different number of neutrons.


When an element is combined to another element the substance is what?

When an element is combined with another element, the resulting substance is called a compound. Compounds are formed through chemical reactions where atoms of different elements bond together to form a new substance with unique properties.


Which element in group 16 has unstable isotopes?

Polonium is the element in group 16 that has unstable isotopes. It is a radioactive element with no stable isotopes.


What are facts about isotopes of the same element?

What is the name for atoms of an element that have different masses?

An atom or element that have different masses are known as isotopes.
