PPT-EQ: What is radioactive decay?

Unscramble the following keywords for todays lesson Yecad Iriaovadect Ootspei Nsteruon nadgit Isotopes When the nucleus of an atom possesses either too many or too few neutrons compared to the number of protons it becomes unstable These are called radioactive isotopes Unstable nuclei split up in a process called radioactive decay and emit radioactive radiation. Chapter 25. Marie Curie was a Polish scientist whose research led to many discoveries about radiation and radioactive elements. In 1934 she died from leukemia caused by her long-term exposure to radiation. You will learn about the various types of radiation and their effects.. Radioactivity.

Discoverers of Radium and Polonium 1900-1908. Continuation of Journal Entry #5. Radiometric Dating. A technique used to date materials such as rocks based upon a comparison between the observed abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope and its decay products using known rates of decay.. .

A nucleus may be bound in a relatively high energy state, and if it can attain a lower energy, it will eventually do so. Why are some elements (isotopes) more stable than others?. The Nucleus. The Electric Force. Protons hate Protons. Strong Force. Strong Force Facts. Neutrons act like cement. Strong Force is very strong over a small distance (about the distance of two protons).
