What else can I help you with?
Do all elements have a half-life?
No, not all elements have a half-life. Half-life is a property of radioactive elements that undergo decay over time. Non-radioactive elements do not have a half-life because they do not decay in the same way.
Radioactive elements include all those elements whose nuclei contain what?
Radioactive elements include all elements whose nuclei either:contain protons more than 83 proton, orcontain neutron to proton ratio out of the stability ratio.refer to related question below.
What property is absolute and independent of frame of reference?
The property that is absolute and independent of frame of reference is the speed of light.
The time it takes for 50 percent of the nuclei in a radioactive sample to decay to its stable isotope is called?
The time it takes for 50 percent of the nuclei in a radioactive sample to decay to its stable isotope is called the half-life of the radioactive element. It is a characteristic property of each radioactive isotope and can vary greatly among different elements.
Do Elements become radioactive when the strong nuclear force overcomes the repulsive electrostatic force?
No. Radioactive elements are normally a result of the atom actually being an isotope of that element. An isotope is an atom of an element that has a different amount of neutrons than the norm. For example, the normal amount of neutrons in a Carbon atom is six, but Carbon-14 has eight, and Carbon-16 has ten. These isotopes are normally radioactive.
What property of radioactive elements make useful for determining absolute age?
Igneous rock. If you are in FIS you know me. O.K.
What property of radioactive elements makes them useful for fetermining absolute age?
How should I know you idiot!
Do all elements have a half-life?
No, not all elements have a half-life. Half-life is a property of radioactive elements that undergo decay over time. Non-radioactive elements do not have a half-life because they do not decay in the same way.
What property of actinides makes americium useful in smoke detectors?
Radioactive elements are able to ionize the air.
When a different kind element that radioactive is mixed with another element that not radioactive does it react?
Of course. Chemistry still applies, and that is based on the electron configuration, not the nucleus, per se.
A property of all actinides is that they are all what?
Actinoids are: Th, Pa, U, Np, Am, Cm, Bk, Cf, Es, Fm, Md, No, Lr.
How can physical properties be used to group elements?
It is the atomic number. It is the physical property.
Which lanthanide element and which transition element have only radioactive isotopes?
All or almost all elements have radioactive isotopes if artificial isotopes are included. Among the naturally occurring elements, uranium, polonium, radium, and thorium have naturally occurring radioactive isotopes on earth.
Radioactive elements include all those elements whose nuclei contain what?
Radioactive elements include all elements whose nuclei either:contain protons more than 83 proton, orcontain neutron to proton ratio out of the stability ratio.refer to related question below.
What property is absolute and independent of frame of reference?
The property that is absolute and independent of frame of reference is the speed of light.

Is radioactive a chemical or physical?
