When an isotope is blank it does not undergo radioactive decay?
when an isotope is it does not undergo radioactive decay
What is the final result of radioactive decay?
radioactive isotope
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.
What is the stable produced by the radioactive decay of a parent isotope?
daughter isotope
How does the length of the half-life of the element correspond to the radioactivity of the element?
The length of time required for half of a sample of radioactive material to decay
What property of a radioactive isotope is the length of time it takes half of the nuclei to decay?
This is called the "half-life" of the isotope.
When an isotope is blank it does not undergo radioactive decay?
when an isotope is it does not undergo radioactive decay
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
What is the radioactive decay law?
The rate of decay (activity) of a radioactive isotope is proportional to the number of atoms of the isotope present.
What is radioactive decay law?
The rate of decay (activity) of a radioactive isotope is proportional to the number of atoms of the isotope present.
What is half life of a isotope?
The half life of an isotope refers to the rate at which a radioactive isotope undergoes radioactive decay. Specifically, it is the amount of time it takes for half of a given sample of a radioactive isotope to decay.
What is the final result of radioactive decay?
radioactive isotope
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.
What is the stable produced by the radioactive decay of a parent isotope?
daughter isotope
How does the length of the half-life of the element correspond to the radioactivity of the element?
The length of time required for half of a sample of radioactive material to decay
Would radioactive gold alpha decay?
Sure it will. "Radioactive" means just that - that the corresponding isotope will decay.
What does the half life of a radioisotope represent?
It tells what fraction of a radioactive sample remains after a certain length of time.
