When radioactive isotopes break down into other elements the process is called?
radioactive decay
Is argon radioactive?
Over 99.999% of argon is not radioactive. A trace of radioactive argon-39 can be found in nature, but it is not significant. Synthetic radioactive isotopes of argon exist, as they do for all elements.
Do radioactive isotopes disintegrate easily?
There is a very wide range of half-life for different radioactive isotopes, ranging from the billions of years to very small fractions of a second. So some isotopes disintegrate immediately, and others last a very long time.
What is half life of nitrogen?
The natural isotopes of nitrogen are stable; for the synthetic radioactive isotopes of nirogen see the link below.
Is Rn radioactive nonmetals?
Yes, Rn is radon a radioactive nonmetal. But the symbol Rn does not stand for "radioactive nonmetal." Rn Radon has no stable isotopes, so yes it is always a radioactive nonmetal.
What element characteristic does radioactive isotopes have?
These isotopes are unstable and disintegrate emitting radiations.
What are isotopes considered radioactive?
Not all isotopes are radioactive; the radioactive isotopes are unstable and emit radiations.
How are radioactive isotopes different from isotopes?
Both isotopes and radioactive isotopes are pretty much the same but radioactive isotopes are better because it can be used to make medicine.
Does sodium contain radioactive isotopes?
Sodium has no radioactive isotopes.
Does radioactive isotopes have a stable nuclei?
Radioactive isotopes are not stable.
Does plutonium have isotopes that are all radioactive?
All the uranium isotopes are radioactive.
What happens to all radioactive isotopes?
All radioactive isotopes will disintegrate.
Are all isotopes of francium radioactive?
All isotopes of francium are radioactive.
Isotopes which have unstable nucleus and break down at a constant rate over time?
radioactive isotopes! :)
What are Radioactive isotopes used for?
Some examples are deuterium and tritium which are radioactive isotopes of hydrogen.
Is boron radioactive?
There are no radioactive isotopes of boron that are ordinarily found in nature. All elements have synthetic radioactive isotopes, however.
Is neon radioactive?
No radioactive isotopes of neon are ordinarily found in nature. All elements have radioactive synthetic isotopes, however.
