artificial disintegration

Artificial Nuclear Reactions - Radioactivity is broadly classified into two categories: a) Natural radioactivity and b) Artificial or Induced radioactivity. If a substance emits radiations by itself, it is said to possess natural radioactivity. If a substance does not possess ra..

The seventh period is incomplete and contains nineteen elements (Z = 87 to 105). Two elements with atomic number 106 and 107 have been discovered but have not been named. The elements (Z = 87 to 92) are naturally occurring while the elements with atomic numbers 93 to 107 are artificially..

Nuclear changes can be brought about by bombardment of nuclei with accelerated particles like neutrons, deuterons and protons. A particularly important process for the production of artificial radioactive isotope is the (n, g ) reaction, which is applied to synthesize new elements. ..

. A g -ray photon has no rest mass and no charge. According to radioactive decay law, Where l is disintegration constant. Half life of a radioactive element is the time during which half the total number of atoms in the element (N 0 ) disintegrate, i.e., in Average life or mean ..
