Respuesta :

An unstable isotope changes until it reaches a different element that is stable.

An unstable isotope changes until it reaches a different isotope of the same element that is  stable.


i just did this on ed the other answer was wrong. these ones are right tho

Answer:

  • An unstable isotope changes until it reaches a different element that is stable
  • An unstable isotope changes until it reaches a different isotope of the same element that is stable

Explanation:

Radioactive decay is the process of emitting energy or particles by an atomic nucleus in the process of becoming/forming a different isotope of the same element from which the atom was before the emission or becoming a different  atom of a different element.

from the definition of Radioactive decay the statements that best describe the Radioactive decay from the group of statements given are : An unstable isotope changes until it reaches a different element that is stable and An unstable isotope changes until it reaches a different isotope of the same element that is stable.
