What is Understanding Radioactivity and Decay about?
Radioactivity, discovered by Henri Becquerel in 1896, is the spontaneous emission of radiation from unstable atomic nuclei, leading to transformations into different atomic nuclei. It involves various types of decay, including alpha, beta, and gamma decay, characterized by the emission of particles and energy. The activity of a radioactive sample is measured in becquerels, with half-lives varying significantly among isotopes, and nuclear stability is influenced by the neutron-to-proton ratio.
