Relevant answers:

What element do substances become after radioactive decay?
They don't all become the same element. An atom decays, and turns into some other kind atom. The details vary, depending on what isotope is decaying.
What actually decays in radioactive decay?
The nucleus of the atom decays, and in the process, the nucleus transforms into another element, or into an isotope or isomer of the same element. In radioactive decay, the nucleus always emits some...
What happens to radioactice substances when they decay?
The atom that decays leaves emits some radiation, and leaves behind another type of atom (or atoms), with less mass (the mass of the original atom, minus the mass that left the atom).There are...
What substances cause tooth decay?
Bubbly Sodas, candy, and pretty much anything sugary will slowly eat away at your teeth.
Is radioactive decay the same as organic decay?
No, radioactive decay is not the same as organic decay. The basic difference between radioactive decay and organic decay is that in organic decay, chemical compounds break down and the biochemical...
