Making any change in the half-life of an isotope of any element is generally something that lies outside our abilities. A very few radioactive materials have demonstrated a change in their half-lives when bathed in intense magnetic fields. Generally, however, the half-life on a given radionuclide is not something that can be changed. A number of experiments have been conducted wherein investigators have deliberately sought to influence radioactive half-life, but in all but the rarest cases, radionuclides are sublimely resistant to having their half-lives changed.

Which is the next stable element after uranium?
none, uranium itself is unstable, there are no stable elements after bismuth; and even some researchers suggest that bismuth is an unstable radioactive element with a halflife approaching twice the age of the universe.
All radioactive nuclides of an element have the same half life?
No, halflife is a bulk statistical property of a quantity of an isotope of an element.Individual nuclei do not have halflives, instead they have a probability of decaying at the current moment of time.
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 is the time needed for half of a sample of a radioactive isotope to break down to form daughter isotopes called?
halflife
What is the breakdown of a radioactive isotope of the same element or of another element?
radioactive decay

Is the element sodium radioactive or non-radioactive?
non radioactive element
How does the length of the half-life of the element correspond to the radioactivity of the element?

Is any isotope of lead is radioactive?
many. one example is lead-214 with a halflife of 26.8 minutes.

halflife
How do you use radioactive element in a sentence?
A radioactive element is one that discharges radiation. Uranium is a radioactive element. A radioactive element is very dangerous if you don't have protective clothing. You should never go near a radioactive element.
What if your cat is radioactive with the same halflife as carbon 14. how many years will it take for three fourths of your cat to degrade?
my grandma
Is it true that the half-life of a radioactive isotope decreases as the isotopes decay?
no, halflife is a constant for each isotope's decay process.
What characterizes a radioactive element?
A radioactive element is characterized by having unstable atomic nuclei that decay and emit radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. This decay process results in the transformation of the element into a different element or isotope.
What is the breakdown of a radioactive isotope of the same element or of another element?
radioactive decay
How would you describe the isotopes of hydrogen?
Hydrogen has three isotopes: protium (1H), deuterium (2H), and tritium (3H). Protium is the most abundant and consists of one proton and one electron. Deuterium contains one proton, one neutron, and one electron. Tritium has one proton, two neutrons, and one electron.
