Radioactive decay
What this topic asks you to be able to do
- Know that in radioactive decay an unstable nucleus changes, which may lead to it emitting α-particles or β-particles and/or γ-radiation, and know that such changes happen spontaneously and at random
- apply decay equations written in nuclide notation to demonstrate the release of α-particles, β-particles and γ-radiation
