Why nonradioactive substances becomes radioactive when placed near a radium compound?
This phenomenon is not mandatory.
What else can I help you with?
Radioactive substances consist of nuclei that can't be held together by the what?
Radioactive substances consist of nuclei that can't be held together by the strong nuclear force. This force is responsible for keeping protons and neutrons bound within the nucleus of an atom. When this force is not strong enough to overcome the repulsion between protons, the nucleus becomes unstable and undergoes radioactive decay.
When the rate of radioactive decay becomes smaller half life becomes what?
When the rate of radioactive decay decreases, the half-life of the radioactive substance increases. This is because a smaller decay rate means that it takes a longer time for half of the radioactive atoms to decay. Consequently, the half-life, which is the time required for half of the substance to decay, extends as the decay rate diminishes.
Is gasoline radioactive?
Oil is not generally radioactive unless it was originally located near radioactive material when it was extracted. More often, it only becomes radioactive when exposed to or stored near radioactive materials post processing.
What compound becomes less soluble in water as the temperature of the solution is increased?
This compound is the cerium sulfate.
What happens during radioactive decay apex?
An unstable nucleus loses particles until it becomes stable.

What is the problem with disposing of radioactive wastes is that they have a long what?
Radioactive substances have half-lives. This is because the isotope constantly is changing from the radioactive isotope to a daughter element. For example, eventually, when uranium's radioactivity is gone, it becomes lead. After one half life of a radioactive substance, only 50% of that substance is still radioactive. Therefore, after one half-life, a piece of uranium is 50% lead and therefore %50 less radioactive. After another half-life, it has 25% of the original radioactivity, and 75% of the original uranium has become lead. This is the problem with radioactive wastes. It takes many years just for one half lives for some substances, such as uranium. Because radioactivity is harmful, those substances have to be stored until they are no longer radioactive. So, in short, the problem with disposing of radioactive wastes is that they have long half-lives. (although this is not true with ALL substances because some have short half-lives, but, in general, radioactive substances have long half-lives.
What happens to a radioactive nucleus when it emits is gamma particle?
it becomes stable.
How do you get a chemical solution?
When one compound dissolves into another compound, it becomes a solution.
When the rate of radioactive decay becomes smaller half life becomes what?

When a compound donates electrons the compound becomes what?
if a neutral atom donates an electron it will gain a positive charge. This is due to electrons having a negative charge.
What compound becomes less soluble in water as the temperature of the solution is increased?
This compound is the cerium sulfate.
What substances can make the ozone layer becomes thinner?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
What happens when you change the composition of a mixture and a compound?
When you change the composition of a mixture, you are altering the relative amounts of the substances mixed together, while their chemical properties remain the same. In contrast, changing the composition of a compound involves altering the elements that make up the compound, leading to the formation of a new substance with different chemical properties.
What happens during radioactive decay apex?
An unstable nucleus loses particles until it becomes stable.
Can Radioactive decay can involve electrons?
Yes. That's what "beta radiation" is. (occurs when a neutron becomes a proton).
