Gamma rays are emitted by what?
they are emitted by radioactivity during radioactive decay.
Was the Industrial Revolution a time of progress or decay?
It was the time of progress, because many technological improvements were made during this time.
What element was created by the first H bomb test?
Element number 99, later named Einsteinium, was discovered in the debris from the first hydrogen bomb explosion in 1952. Only a tiny number of atoms were detected, formed from the decay of neutron-bombarded californium nuclei.
Why are mummified remains found in very dry places?
most bacteria cannot survive in dry enviornments so the decay process is slowed down a lot.
What Does the aftermath of an atomic bomb smell like?
We only have two examples of atomic bombs used in conflict to base this all on. However, the survivor statements from Hiroshima and Nagasaki are quite clear.Survivors from both mentioned often the smell of burning, in some cases burning flesh. Days after the attacks, they discussed the smell of rotting flesh and decay.
Is radioactive decay internal or external?
internal, it is a process occurring inside atomic nuclei.
What is the process in which the atomic nuclei of unstable isotopes release fast moving particles and energy?
radioactive decay or simply decay.
Unstable atomic nuclei decay over time into stable nuclei causing a mineral to be?
radioactive
Process which unstable nuclei emit radiation is called?
This process through which unstable nuclei emit radiation is called radioactive decay. It also is called nuclear decay, and it is a natural process in which an atom of an isotope decomposes into a new element.
What is nuclei that has unstable decay known as?
Atomic nuclei that are unstable and decaying are said to be radioactive. Radioactive decay involves alpha, beta and gamma particle emissions.
Radioactivity is caused due to what?
spontaneous decay of unstable atomic nuclei.
Process by which unstable nuclei lose energy?
Radioactive decay
What term indicates the process in which unstable nuclide release radiation?
If it is related to Nuclear studies, then the answer would be fusion.
Why is decay necessary?
Those elements undergo the 'decay' process which have unstable nuclei so decay is necessary to gain the stability. such elements form the smaller stable nuclei as Lead nucleus.
Is spontaneous fusion a form of radioactive decay?
No, the fusion process is the opposite of the radioactive decay process. Fusion is the merging together of nuclei to form a heavier nucleus whereas fission or radioactive decay is the splitting apart of a heavy nucleus into lighter daughter nuclei.
Definition of gamma rays?
Penetrating electromagnetic radiation of a kind arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei.
Is it true that nuclear radiation comes from the decay of atomic nuclei?
Yes, the decay of unstable atomic nuclei is the source of nuclear radiation.
