Question: Q: The atom often (but not always) turns into a different what during the decay process? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: When an atomic nucleus decays, it does so by releasing one or more particles. The atom often (but not always) turns into a different element during the decay process. The amount of radiation given off by a certain sample of radioactive material depends on the amount of material, how quickly it decays, and the nature of the decay product. Big, rapidly decaying samples are most dangerous. Choices: - concept - reaction - aspect - element A:
Answer:
element
