unique ideas for elementary student awards do something new and creative this year by awarding your elementary students with unique student awards hopefully one or more of these awards made you think of a specific student
C. Fission: may create radioactive nuclei, may undergo a chain reaction Fusion: energy source for stars Fission and fusion: large amount of energy produced
The reason radioactive isotopes emit radiation is that the emission of radiation is a nutural consequence of being radioactive. Let's look a bit more closely. Radioactive isotâ¦opes are unstable atoms, and they will undergo radioactive decay sooner or later. The unstable atomic nuclei undergo a change based on what particular isotope is being considered. In any case, when a nuclear change occurs, radiation of some kind is emitted from that nucleus. It really is that simple.
