How many atoms of the given element are present
Radio-isotope
An isotope that has an unstable nucleus and is therefore radioactive.
Radioactive
W.r.t. atoms, a nucleus whose constituents are unstable and emitting (radiating) particles.
Subatomic particles that are radiated
Beta (electron when negative, positron when positive), neutron, helium nucleus (alpha particle).
Nuclear mass
Atomic mass A.
Nuclear charge
Atomic number Z.
What does radiation cause to happen with the nucleus?
Change from one isotope to another
What type of energy is released with nuclear radiation?
X-rays or gamma rays.
