Radioactive Decay

The rate of decay (activity) of a radioactive isotope is proportional to the number of atoms of the isotope present.

Nuclear decay involves the contents of the atomic nucleus, the protons and neutrons. Chemical reactions involve the electrons.

It is not possible.

In alpha decay, the nucleus loses two protons and two neutrons. The resulting element will therefore have an element number that is two less.In beta minus decay, a neutron gets converted to a proton. The resulting element will have one more proton - the element number will be one more.

In beta plus decay, a proton gets converted to a neutron. The resulting element will have one less proton - the element number will be one less.

Each isotope has another half life.
For the isotope francium-223 (half life = 21,8 minutes) the time is 87,2 minutes.

The radioactive decay of americium 241 is by alpha disintegration; the disintegration of radioactive krypton isotopes is by beta particles emission.

The process by which the nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy by emitting radiation, including alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, and conversion electrons.

Perhaps you can't, but carbon dating is not used on mineralized fossils. The igneous rock above and below the fossil strata is radiometricly dated, Carbon dating is only good on material containing carbon; material less than 40,000 years old.

That depends on the type of decay, alpha and beta decay change the atom into a different element but gamma decay does not.

The basic idea is to compare the abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope within a material to the abundance of its decay products; it is known how fast the radioactive isotope decays.

All nuclear decay is spontaneous.

Produce a large amount of heat and energy which is utilized for many purposes

Because gamma rays have the most electromagnetic energy.

Protactinium-233 is transformed in uranium-233 emitting beta radiation.

The half-life of carbon-14 is 5 730 years.

In the atomic nucleus as protons and/or neutrons fall from excited states towards their ground state.

Fusion is nuclear synthesis, combining atoms of lesser mass into atoms of greater mass. Decay is reducing the mass of larger (unstable) atoms to form atoms of lesser mass.

No. C-14 dating is not effective for samples older than about 50,000 years.

No. 14 6 carbon decays into 147 nitrogen.

This type of decay is called β- (beta minus) decay. A link is provided to a related question with a descriptive answer that details the process.

For example, radioactive dating.Also, two people who work in a lab (typically a man and a woman) could have a date.

Francium-223 decay to radium-223; each isotope have another type of decay.

Alpha particle is composed of two protons and two neutrons (equivalent to He nucleus). So the parent decaying by alpha decay results in a daughter having atomic number less by two and mass number less by four.

The isotope lead-204 is obtained.
