Cuál es la característica principal para que un elemento sea radiactivo?

Definimos la radiactividad como el proceso mediante el cual un núcleo inestable pierde energia mediante emisiones (puede emitir fotones, neutrones, etc.)

Así, la característica princpial es que el elemento debe ser inestable.

-------------------------------------

Cuando tenemos un elemento inestable, lo que puede deberse a que el elemento tiene un núcleo muy grande, o a que el elemento por alguna razón tiene muchos neutrones, este elemento querrá de alguna manera volver a un estado más estable.

Usualmente, la inestabilidad se ve representada como un dado exceso de energía, entonces la forma en la que el átomo se estabiliza es liberando energía de alguna forma.

Esta energía puede ser liberada mediante una desintegración, donde el elemento original se convierte en otros elementos y en el proceso se liberan nucleones, o por emisiones de fotones característicos del elemento, o de otras diversas formas que dependerán del caso particular.

Concluyendo la idea, para que un elemento sea radiactivo (es decir, emite radiación) la característica  que este elemento debe tener es que debe ser inestable.

What is an example of potential energy and kentic energy?
lana [24]
Potential energy is stored energy. Kinetic energy involves movement.

If a ball is on the top of a hill, it has the most potential energy on the very top of the hill. The kinetic energy is also 0 at this point.

If the ball rolls down the hill, potential energy decreases while kinetic increases.

How is an oxidation half-reaction written using the reduction potential chart? How is the oxidation potential voltage determined
insens350 [35]
Oxidation  half  reaction  is  written   as    follows when  using  using  reduction potential  chart
example  when  using  copper  it is  written  as  follows
CU2+   +2e-  --> c(s)  +0.34v
 oxidasation  is the  loos  of  electron  hence copper oxidation  potential  is  as  follows
cu (s)  -->  CU2+   +2e    -0.34v
