When one element goes through radio active decay, it looses some alpha , beta particles and also neutrons so considering those things we should reduce number of alpha , beta and also neutrons lost by the element. from that we have to decide the element which occur after radio active decay.

What is a parent and daughter element?

In chemistry, a parent element is a radioactive element that undergoes decay to form a different element known as the daughter element. The parent element gives rise to the daughter element as a result of radioactive decay processes such as alpha decay, beta decay, or electron capture. The daughter element has a different number of protons and atomic number compared to the parent element.


What kind of decay results in the formation of a different element?

Nuclear decay, specifically beta decay or alpha decay, can result in the formation of a different element. In beta decay, a neutron decays into a proton, resulting in the formation of a different element with the same mass number but a different atomic number. In alpha decay, an alpha particle (helium nucleus) is emitted, leading to the formation of a different element with a lower atomic number.


What is the term for the element that a radioactive isotope decay into?

The term for the element that a radioactive isotope decays into is called the "daughter product". During radioactive decay, the original isotope transforms into a different element or isotope through a series of decay reactions.


What are the differences between a radioactive element and one that transmutes?

A radioactive element is one that undergoes spontaneous decay to form a different element, releasing radiation in the process. On the other hand, an element that transmutes is one that can be converted into a different element through nuclear reactions, such as bombarding it with particles. In summary, radioactive elements decay naturally, while elements that transmute require external factors to change into a different element.


Alpha decay and beta decay are two forms of decay that cause transmutation?

Transmutation, which is the change of atoms from one element to another.

Can one element change into a different element?

Yes, but only if it is radioactive. Radioactive elements change into different elements through radioactive decay.


Radioactive decay occurs when?

When a radioactive element slowly turns into another element/s when it emits various particles.


When an atom undergoes radioactive decay does it become a different element?

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


The process by which one element naturally changes into another is called?

It is radioactive decay.


When elements are formed by another element why is it dangerous?

The process where an element turns to another is radioactive decay, and exposure to radioactivity is dangerous.


What is the name of the time required to change a part of a radioactive element to a stable element?

The name for the time required for half of a radioactive element to decay into a stable element is called the half-life. It is a constant value unique to each radioactive isotope, and it is used to measure the rate of radioactive decay.


Can the atomic number change over time?

No. The atomic number of an element never changes. It is the number of protons and it defines the element. In certain types of radioactive decay, the number of protons can change, but then it is no longer the same (parent) element, but rather is a new (daughter) element.


What kind of reaction can change one element into another?

Nuclear reactions are the only type of reaction that can change one element into another. This occurs when the nucleus of an atom undergoes a change, such as through fusion, fission, or radioactive decay.


Are all elements periodically change to become new element s?

No. Only radioactive elements, which undergo radioactive decay can change to different elements.
