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

Chemistry

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.

Which salt is produced when NH4OH Reacts with HNO3
borishaifa [10]

Explanation:

When an acid reacts with a base then it results in the formation of salt and water.

HNO_{3} is an acid and NH_{4}OH is a base thus, when we dissolve ammonium hydroxide in nitric acid then it results in the formation of ammonium nitrate and water.

The reaction is as follows.

 NH_{4}OH + HNO_{3} \rightarrow NH_{4}NO_{3} + H_{2}O

Hence, there will be formation of ammonium nitrate (NH_{4}NO_{3}) salt.
