- Radioactive decay is the process by which unstable atomic nuclei lose energy by emitting radiation. This process can result in the transformation of one element into another.
- There are several types of radioactive decay, including alpha decay, beta decay, gamma decay, and electron capture. Each type of decay involves the emission of different particles and energy.
- Understanding radioactive decay is crucial in various fields, including nuclear physics, medicine, and environmental science. In this presentation, we will explore the different types of radioactive decay and their implications.
