What is the answer called when you multiply 2 numbers?
a product
In a multiplication problem the numbers being multiplied are called?
The 2 top numbers are called "Factors" the answer is "product"
What is the product of a multiplication sentence is in math form?
The product of a multiplication sentence is called the answer of the numbers being multiplied. i.e 2 x 3 = 6, 6 is the product.
What does the word product mean in maths?
When you multiply, your answer is called a product.In math, the word "product" implies multiplication. If you are asked to find the product of two numbers, you should multiply them together.So the product of 3 and 4 would be 3*4=12Product is the answer you get when you multiplyExample:2×6=12,so 12 is the product
What is the answer to an addition problem called?
The answer to an addition problem is called the sum.The sum of 2 plus 2 is 4.
Is it true that a stable radioactive isotope called the parent will decay and form daughter products?
Yes, that is correct. Radioactive decay involves the transformation of an unstable parent isotope into a more stable daughter product through the emission of particles or energy. This process continues until the parent isotope reaches a stable configuration.
What is The time required for a radioactive mass to reduce by a factor of 2 called?
The time required for a radioactive mass to reduce by a factor of 2 is called the half-life. It is the time it takes for half of the radioactive nuclei in a sample to decay.
How do you calculate the decay constant for a radioactive substance?
The decay constant for a radioactive substance is calculated by dividing the natural logarithm of 2 by the half-life of the substance. The formula is: decay constant ln(2) / half-life.
What is the radioactive decay of an atom resulting in the decrease in the atomic number with no charge in the atomic mass called?
It is called beta decay. there are two types: 1) posive beta decay in which atomic number decreases. 2) negative beta decay in which atomic number increases.
What are the properties of radioactive decay?
Radioactive decay has the following properties: 1. No element can completely decay. 2. The number of atoms decaying in a particular period is proportional to the number of atoms present in the beginning of that period. 3. Estimate of radioactive decay can be made by half life and decay constant of a radioactive element.
How long does it take for this radioactive material to decay through 2 half-lives?
It will take twice the half-life of the radioactive material for it to decay through two half-lives. If the half-life is 1 hour, it will take 2 hours for the material to decay through 2 half-lives.
Is nuclear fusion used to describe the rate of a radioactive isotopes decay?
No. Nuclear fusion is the process by which 4 hydrogen atoms are fused into a single helium atom, releasing huge amounts of energy. This is the process that powers our sun. Radioactive decay of isotopes is described by the concept of the half life. The half life of an isotope is the time it takes for 1/2 of a sample of that isotope to decay into a daughter product.
How to calculate radioactive decay and its impact on the half-life of a substance?
To calculate radioactive decay, use the formula N N0 (1/2)(t/T), where N is the final amount of substance, N0 is the initial amount, t is the time passed, and T is the half-life of the substance. The impact of radioactive decay on the half-life of a substance is that it represents the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample to decay.
What are two types of radioactive decay?
The two types of radioactive decay are alpha and beta. Generally, in alpha decay the nucleus will lose 2 protons and 2 neutrons (it's a helium nucleus). Beta decay involves a neutron losing an electron and becoming a proton, so the atomic mass remains the same, but the atomic number increases by one since there is another proton.
What decays first duriing radioactive decay?
No, radioactive decay is not a chemical reaction. Radioactive decay is a type of change in the nucleus of an atom that results from instability in that nucleus. And that is a nuclear reaction rather than a chemical one.
What is a by product of radioactive decay?
The 3 things that can happen during radioactive decay is the 3 parts of decay: Alpha decay, Beta decay, and Gamma decay. In alpha decay, which is the weakest part of decay, it has a positive helium neuclus(2 protons and 2 neutrons), and the particles will burn your skin, but can be easily stopped by a peice of paper. This is the most ionising as the helium nucleus can take electrons from other atoms and make them unstable. This can give rise to cancers as it distorts cells. In Beta decay (an electron or a positron) is emitted. In the case of electron emission, it is referred to as "beta minus" (β−). It can be stopped by 3mm of aluminum. Gamma decay, which is the strongest, can only be stopped by 3cm of lead. It has electromagnetic waves, it contains the most energy, and therefore is the most penetrating, but normally it just passes straight through the human body. Radioactive decay can be very harmful, and its best to stay away. This question has been anwsered by Rae-Ann Salisbury.
Is the half-life of a chemical element one-half of the amount of a radioactive element to decay?
The half-life is the time that it takes for 1/2 of a material to decay.
