basic forces of nature

responsible for particle decay/weak force

Lorenz force/force between positive nd negative chargeporaeaokm per

attraction between 2 objects that have mass or energy

the
nucleus spontaneously emits particles and energy and
transforms itself into another atom

any nuclear arrangement is called

result of alpha, beta, gamma rays

nuclei that undergo radioactive decay

a general term that refers to all known isotopes

responsible for emission, has the same number of proton

positive electron

T1/2 reduced capability to emit radiation

radioactive decay of atom

alpha decay is kasing bigat ng _

heaviest
more violent process
2 protons nd neutrons
must be extremely unstable
can be stopped by a piece of paper or tissue

electron created in the nucleus with considerable kinetic energy and escapes from the atom
happens inside nucleus

emr of the shortest wavelength and highest energy

capturing of electron from inner shell and converting it into the ejected charge inside the nucleus

types of half life

this is defined as a period required to reduce the redioactivity level of a source to exactly one half its original value due solely to radioactive decay

period required to reduce the amount of a drug in an organ or the body to exactly one half of its original value

both by elimination and decay
