Radioactivity and waste disposal
radioactivity in Canada relate not to the fission, but to the decay of radioactive materials - radioisotopes. These are unstable atoms that emit energy for a period of time that varies with the isotop ... pH to neutrality, or slight alkalinity results in increased sorption by the formation rock of radioisotopes present in the form of free cations.

y. In the atomic model, when an element's neutron is more than its proton, it is called an unstable isotope. Unstable isotopes lose or gain neutrons and protons to gain stability, the loss of particle ... bility, the loss of particles and energy is radioactivity.Radioactive decay occurs when an unstable isotope breaks down into another same or different element. This decay process continues until stabl ...

Isotopes in Society: Xenon
An isotope is an atom which is related to an element by the number of protons in the nucleus, and diffe ... al properties, and electronic structure. The relative atomic mass of an element is configured using isotopes. It is the average atomic mass of all the element's isotopes. Therefore, if one isotope amo ... Therefore, if one isotope among all the others has an atomic mass which is not similar to the other isotopes, it could create a great change in the atomic mass of an element.Every element which has be ...

The Decaying Of Radioactive Isotopes
Not all of the atoms of a radioisotope decay at the same time, but they decay at a rate that is characteristic to the isotope. The ... istic to the isotope. The rate of decay is a fixed rate called a half-life. The half-life of a radioisotope describes how long it takes for half of the atoms in a given mass to decay. Some isotopes de ... atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter from the nucleus.
