What is a radioactive element?

Samsudeen said:   1 decade ago
When fast neutron and nitrogen collide, then the nuclei will produce.

What is fast neutron?

GAUTAM Kumar said:   1 decade ago
The element which has atomic number more than 80 is called radioactive element. Example radium and uranium.

Nishant said:   1 decade ago
An element becomes radioactive when there will be an imbalance in nucleons in its nucleus or when its atomic no exceeds 82.

First of all what is radiocarbon?

Ravi thakur said:   1 decade ago
What is stability of an atom?

Sajid said:   1 decade ago
I am not getting reason of the give question explain please any body clearly.

Bagla said:   1 decade ago
Explanation is clear i.e. Fast moving neutron have a sufficient energy to penetrate the nitrogen nucleus and absorbed by it. Hence it make a intermediate unstable element finally it gives carbon-14 and a electron.

Please give reason why fast neutrons penetrate neutrons in atmosphere?
