radioactivity decay

The spontaneous breaking up of the nucleus is known as radioactive disintegration or radioactive decay..

The spontaneous breaking up of the nucleus is known as radioactive disintegration or radioactive decay. Radioactive disintegration is found to obey the following two laws: i) Atoms of all radioactive elements are undergoing spontaneous disintegratio..

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 element. This process of suc..

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 called Radioactive decay or d..

Radioactivity - It is a spontaneous emission or disintegration of an unstable nucleus resulting in certain radiations. The elements exhibiting this phenomena are called radioactive elements. e.g., radium, thorium, actinium, polonium etc. Radioactivity does not occur du..

All radioactive decays follow first order kinetics. Therefore, the half-life of a radioactive element is independent of the amount of sample. With the help of half-life values of a suitable radioisotope of an element, which is present in a rock, or in an artefact..

. It has changed into an atom of another substance which may be unstable (will undergo further disintegration) or stable (will not emit any more particles), it is not possible to control this change. Neither is it possible to reverse it. Changing the temperature, changes the rate at which a chemica..
