alpha decay process

Alpha decay is the phenomenon of emission of an a - particle from radioactive nucleus...

Radioactive Decay or Disintegration - A radioactive nucleus or element emits an alpha or a beta particle and gets converted into a new nucleus or element. The process of destruction of the original nucleus during the formation of new nucleus due to radioactivity is cal..

Radioactive Decay Series - The emission of a or b - particles from a radioactive element results in the function of new element called daughter element. If the daughter element still has unstable nucleus, it further disintegrates by emitting a or b - particle and produces a new daughter e..

Radioactivity Spontaneous emission of active rays by certain unstable elements. Three types of radiations are: (i) Alpha particles He 2 + ion (Helium nuclei). (ii) Beta - rays - consist of electrons. (iii) Gamma - rays - High energy electromagnetic rays. Emission of alpha..

Radioactive elements can undergo a number of different reactions in the process of forming a stable element. Nuclear fission is one such reaction. Fission means to divide. Elements having atomic numbers greater than 90 can undergo fission. Uranium is one such element. In nuclear fission,..

'Sapros' refers to rotten and 'trophic' refers to food. Saprotrophic nutrition is the process by which the organisms feed on dead and decaying matter. The food is digested outside the cells or even the body of the organism - extracellular digestion. The organism secretes digest..
