What is radioactivity? Who discovered it? What do you mean by parent nuclide and daughter nuclide? What are the three basic radioactive decay processes, and how do they differ?
Radioactivity is the process by which unstable atomic nuclei release energy in the form of radiation to become more stable. This can occur spontaneously, and the radiation can include particles like alpha particles, beta particles, or electromagnetic radiation (gamma rays). The release of this energy is due to the breakdown of the nucleus of the … Read more
