Which of the four fundamental forces is involved in radioactive behavior?

If by radioactive you mean the decay of atoms, it would be the residual strong force The residual strong force has an effective range of 10-15 meters and when the nucleus of an atom extends beyond this the nucleus becomes unstable; the force between the protons is unable to counteract the electromagnetic force. If you refer to the decay of particles then it is the weak force.


What happens to atoms that are radioactive?

Radioactive atoms undergo spontaneous decay, emitting particles or energy in the form of radiation. This process transforms the atoms into different elements or isotopes, creating new elements that may also be radioactive. This decay continues until the atom reaches a stable state.


Do all atoms decay over time?

No, not all atoms decay over time. Some atoms are stable and do not undergo radioactive decay.


What is the characteristic time for the decay of a radioactive isotope?

The characteristic time for the decay of a radioactive isotope is known as its half-life. This is the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample to decay.


What are the four forces that affect the atom?

The four forces that affect atoms are the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force, and gravitational force. Strong nuclear force holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus, weak nuclear force is responsible for certain types of radioactive decay, electromagnetic force governs interactions between charged particles, and gravitational force is the attraction between objects with mass.

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.


Do radioactive atoms have different atomic weights than non radioactive atoms of the same element?

yes


What radioactive material is used in the construction of the bomb?

their is no radioactive material in the construction of any bomb its just a bunch of atoms creating friction and being so excited that they explode in a devistating amount of force.


Are radioactive atoms stable?

No


How do nuclear atoms differ from regular atoms?

All atoms are nuclear, in that they all have nuclei. Some atoms have unstable nuclei, making them radioactive. I'm afraid I have no idea what you mean by "nuclear atoms," unless you meant to say radioactive atoms, in which case the answer is "they have unstable nuclei and they're radioactive."


What are important uses of Hassium?

None -too radioactive and only been produced in a few hundred atoms quantity.

What is meant by half life of radioactive isotopes?

This is the time in which half the the atoms was disintegrated.


Do the numbers of radioactive and daughter atoms change at the same rate throughtout the simulation?

The numbers of radioactive and daughter atoms may or may not change at the same rate throughout simulation when compared to each other. Atoms generally start out at a higher rate of speed, and decrease to a lower one.


What radioactive element is the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms to decay?
