Introduction The “radioactive beta decay” process exists in the field of nuclear physics. The radioactive process of decay is associated with the process of reaction in which beta ray is released from the “nucleus of an atom”. It helps in the transformation of the “original nuclides” to isobars” of the nuclide. In simple terms, in the process of “beta decay”, the “neutron” transforms into a “proton” through the “emission of an electron” which is further accompanied by “antineutrino”. The process of “beta decay” is resultant of a weak force which makes the “decay process” a relatively lengthy process. What is ... Read More

Introduction “Radioactive Decay” emits energy in “ionizing radiation form” and is also responsible for damaging the genes’ DNA and biological tissues in the human. The ionizing radiation is mainly incorporates beta particles, gamma rays, and also alpha particles. Individuals who are more exposed to the harmful radiation of these three rays can suffer from various skin diseases, respiratory diseases, DNA problems, and biological tissue deformities. The radioactive elements are present in various forms in the periodic table where some of them are unstable and some of them are stable. What do you mean by Radioactivity? The ... Read More

Introduction In the process of nuclear decay the elements that are usually released alpha particles and gets decay gradually with time are determined as the radioactive alpha decay products. The alpha particles that is structurally equivalent to the Helium atom’s nuclear are mainly denoted by the Greek letter, α. These alpha particles mainly consist of two neutrons and two protons. In radioactivity alpha decay, there is a positively charged element that is identical to Helium 4 nucleus and that particle can also be emitted spontaneously. This article is mainly determined as the alpha particle What do you ... Read More
