If a substance is radioactive is its compound radioactive?
Yes. A radioactive atom is a radioactive atom. If that atom exists as a single atom and is uncombined and it is radioactive, it's radioactive. If that same atom is chemically combined with another or other atoms, it's still radioactive. It's just that simple.
Atom with an unstable nucelus is called?
It is a radioactive element.
What is a radioactive atoms?
Radioactive atoms are atoms that have unstable nuclei, which can undergo radioactive decay to become more stable. During this process, they emit radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. This emission of radiation can cause a change in the atom's composition or energy level.
What must occur before a radioactive atoms ceases to undergo further radioactive decay?
Before a radioactive atom ceases to undergo further radioactive decay, it must reach a stable configuration or decay into a non-radioactive isotope through the emission of particles or energy. This process continues until the atom reaches a state of stability where it no longer emits radiation.
A radioactive element discovered in France and has no uses?
Francium is radioactive, extremely rare, and was discovered in France (hence the name). It is pretty much useless because of its short half-life and rarity.
When was the bomb discovered?
First the radioactive material and split the atom. So it is not a discovery is was hard work.
If a substance is radioactive is its compound radioactive?
Yes. A radioactive atom is a radioactive atom. If that atom exists as a single atom and is uncombined and it is radioactive, it's radioactive. If that same atom is chemically combined with another or other atoms, it's still radioactive. It's just that simple.
True or false unstable atom that decomposes and emits energy is called retroactive?
No, it's called "radioactive." "Retroactive" is something that's active in regards to the past.
What are the characteristics of a atom?
A radioactive atom is an atom of an element with an unstable nucleus.
What radioactive element was discovered by Pierre and Marie Curie?
The Curies discovered two radioactive elements: polonium and radium.
Where in the atom do radioactive emissions originate?
They originate in the nucleus of the atom.
Who discovered nuteral atom?
chadwick discovered neutral atom
What happens to a radioactive atom after it has emitted its radiation?
The initial atom is transformed in another atom.
Radium and polonium are discovered to be radioactive?
Yes, radium and polonium are radioactive elements.
One of the most radioactive elements discovered by the curies was uranium?
No. The Curies did not discover uranium. They discovered polonium and radium, of which polonium is more radioactive.
Is a radioactive atom always an isotope?
No, not always.
What is the term for an atom the decays?
unstable, radioactive
