Section 19.1 Radioactivity TYPES OF RADIOACTIVE DECAY EQ.: WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF RADIOACTIVE DECAY AND HOW ARE THESE REPRESENTED IN A NUCLEAR EQUATION?

Section 19.1 Radioactivity What do we mean by Radioactivity? Radioactive decay is the process in which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting radiation in the form of particles or electromagnetic waves. An unstable nucleus releases energy to become more stable

Section 19.1 Radioactivity nucleons – particles found in the nucleus of an atom –neutrons –protons atomic number (Z) – number of protons in the nucleus mass number (A) – sum of the number of protons and neutrons isotopes – atoms of the same element (identical atomic numbers) but different number of neutrons (different mass numbers) A Review of Atomic Terms

Section 19.1 Radioactivity A. Radioactive Decay radioactive – nucleus which spontaneously decomposes forming a different nucleus and producing one or more particles nuclear equation – shows the radioactive decomposition of an element

Section 19.1 Radioactivity Radioactive decay results in the emission of either : an alpha particle (  ), a beta particle (  ), or a gamma ray  Radioactive Decay or positron emmission or electron capture
