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 is it meant by the term stable isotope?
Stable isotopes do not undergo nuclear decay. Hydrogen has three isotopes, two are stable and the third is unstable. They are ;_ protium; 1 proton , 0 neutrons and 1 electron (Stable) The commonest isotope of hydrogen. deuterium ; 1 proton , 1 neutron and 1 electron (stable). Also known as 'heavy hydrogen - used to make heavy water). tritium ; 1 proton , 2 neutrons, and 1 electron (unstable - undergoes radio-active decay).
How much of a radio active parent isotope remains after one half life has pass?
Half the original amount.
An unstable isotope with extra energy in the nucleus?
An unstable isotope with extra energy in the nucleus is a radioactive isotope. This extra energy causes the nucleus to undergo radioactive decay, emitting particles or gamma rays in order to become more stable. This process can involve the release of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma radiation.
What is radio-chemicals?
Radiochemicals are chemical compounds containing a radioactive isotope.

What is an isotope called?
radio-isotopes
What radioactive isotope would be best for determining the age of prehistoric human remains?
Carbon-14 is the best radioactive isotope for dating prehistoric human remains because it decays at a relatively slow, but measurable rate. By measuring the amount of carbon-14 left in the remains, scientists can estimate the age of the sample.
Is gold radioactive?
No isotope of silver ordinarily found in nature is radioactive. Like all elements, silver has synthetic radioactive isotopes.Silver is not radio active, none of silver's isotopes have radio activity.ur welcome!
What is radio-chemicals?
Radiochemicals are chemical compounds containing a radioactive isotope.
Is water radio active?
no
