An element that gives off nuclear radiation what?

Sounds to me like radiation from a radioactive isotope. The breaking down part would be the half-life. But the isotope won't completely break down. Only until it reaches a stable form. Such as, radium-226 decays finally to lead-206. During the process it emits charged Alpha particles.


Do humans give off radiation?

Yes, humans give off a very small amount of radiation due to the natural radioactive decay of elements within our bodies, such as potassium-40. This radiation is very low in level and not harmful to others.


What gives off alpha particles?

Radioactive materials such as uranium, radium, and plutonium give off alpha particles during radioactive decay. These particles consist of two protons and two neutrons and have low penetration power, making them easily blocked by materials like paper or skin.


What occurs when light waves travling through the air reflect off small particles?

When light waves traveling through the air reflect off small particles, it results in a phenomenon known as scattering. The scattering of light causes the particles to become visible as they redirect light in various directions, creating effects like the blue color of the sky or the white appearance of clouds.


What do subatomic particles do during a nuclear reaction?

Subatomic particles such as protons and neutrons interact with each other during a nuclear reaction. They may be released, absorbed, or rearranged to form new elements. These interactions can result in the release of energy and the creation of different isotopes.

Do synthetic elements give off small particles?

Yes, because they are radioactive.


What is it when naturally unstable elements release particles from the nuclei and give off heat?

What particles give off high energy?

Radionuclide or radioisotope is a substance that give off high energy particles or rays as it disintegrates. They emit three types of radioactivity is alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays.


What is the ability of some elements to give off nuclear radiation due to the spontaneous split of nuclei into smaller particles called?

Radioactivity.


What elements give off particles?

the unstable elements in periodic table is Radium because it always leave the radio active waves so it lost its mass slowly slowly all radio active elements are unstable. Any thing more By Varun
