lesson 2 Flashcards
a phenomenon that occurs when an unstable atom has too much energy and it has to be released in the form of waves

time required for a radioactive substance to reduce 50% of its active decay
radioactive half life
time required for the body to eliminate one-half of an administered dosage of any substance by regular process of elimination
biologic half-life
time required for a radioactive element in a body to be administered 50% as a result of the combination of radioactive decay and biological elimination

radioactive decay by alpha
- loses 2 units of positive charge (p or z)
- loses 4 units of atomic mass no.
- emits alpha particle (a) and gamma-ray (y)
radioactive decay of beta minus
- neutron is converted to proton
- increased atomic no. by 1 unit
- atomic mass no. remains the same
- emits negatron (b- particles) and gamma ray(y)
radioactive decay by beta plus (B+)
-proton is converted to neutron
-proton in the parent nucleus decays into neutron that remains the daughter nucleus
-increase of neutron by 1 unit
-emit positron, neutron and gamma ray
