Decay rate for a certain mass of a radioactive substance measured at different times varies with time as shown in fig.countrate at `t=8` hr will be? |
| Answer» RADIOACTIVE decay is the loss of elementary particles from an UNSTABLE nucleus, ultimately changing the unstable element into another more stable element. There are five types of radioactive decay: alpha emission, beta emission, positron emission, electron capture, and GAMMA emission. Each type of decay emits a specific particle which CHANGES the type of product PRODUCED. The number of protons and neutrons found in the daughter nuclei (the nuclei produced from the decay) are determined by the type of decay or emission that the original element goes through. | |
