What else can I help you with?
One kind of radiation not released by radioactive decay is .?
alpha particles
What happens to the radioactive isotopes that are released in a nuclear reaction?
they decay over time
What term indicates the process in which unstable nuclide release radiation?
If it is related to Nuclear studies, then the answer would be fusion.
Radioactive decay do not involve electrons?
That statement is not entirely accurate. Radioactive decay can involve the emission of alpha particles, beta particles (electrons or positrons), and gamma rays. Electrons can be involved in certain types of radioactive decay processes.
What is the best definition of radioactive decay?
Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of a nucleus into smaller parts.
What is primarily releases in a radioactive decay?
plants and animals die and then decay to release carbon compound in then
What is the source of heat in the Earth interior?
The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.
When radioactive isotopes break down into other elements the process is called?
radioactive decay
Is radioactive decay a source of sun's energy?
No. The Sun is powered by nuclear fusion, primarily of hydrogen into helium. Radioactive decay is sort of the reverse process, in which a heavy element will break down into lighter ones.
Do radioactive objects emit heat?
Yes, radioactive objects emit heat as a byproduct of their radioactive decay process. This heat is produced by the energy released during the decay of unstable atomic nuclei.
One kind of radiation not released by radioactive decay is .?
alpha particles
When an atom undergoes radioactive decay the energy released in the reaction comes from what?
The energy released in radioactive decay comes from the conversion of mass from the parent atom into energy according to Einstein's famous equation, E=mc². This energy is released in the form of radiation or kinetic energy of the decay products.
What happens to the radioactive isotopes that are released in a nuclear reaction?
they decay over time
How is the radioactive decay of Krypton different from the radioactive decay of Americium?
The radioactive decay of americium 241 is by alpha disintegration; the disintegration of radioactive krypton isotopes is by beta particles emission.
What term indicates the process in which unstable nuclide release radiation?
If it is related to Nuclear studies, then the answer would be fusion.
What is lost during radioactive decay?
Decay energy is the energy that has been freed during radioactive decay. When radioactive decay is ongoing it drops off some energy by means of discharging radiation.
What are advantages of radioactive decay?
One reason is that radioactive decay heats the earths interior
