If a positron is to be emitted spontaneously, how much more mass (as a minimum) must an atom of the parent have than an atom of the daughter nuclide? Explain. _________ ( None, 1.0072764 u, 1.0086649 u, Twice the mass of daughter nuclide, Triple the mass of daughter nuclide). The Parent mass may be _____ (exactly the same as, 1.0072764 times as much as, 1.0086649 times as much as, double, three times) the daughter mass since the positron has a mass of _______ (zero, 1.0072764 u, 1.0086649 u, half of the daughter's mass, a third of the the daughter's mass) Please fill in the blanks with the given choices.
Radioactive decay
The emission of energy to produce ionizing radiation is known as radioactive decay. Alpha, beta particles, and gamma rays are examples of ionizing radiation that could be released. Radioactive decay happens in radionuclides, which are imbalanced atoms. This periodic table's elements come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Several of these kinds are stable like nitrogen-14, hydrogen-2, and potassium-40, whereas others are not like uranium-238. In nature, one of the most stable phases of an element is usually the most prevalent. Every element, meanwhile, has an unstable state. Unstable variants are radioactive and release ionizing radiation. Certain elements, including uranium, have no stable forms and are constantly radioactive. Radionuclides are elements that release ionizing radiation.
Artificial Radioactivity
The radioactivity can be simply referred to as particle emission from nuclei due to the nuclear instability. There are different types of radiation such as alpha, beta and gamma radiation. Along with these there are different types of decay as well.
