Explanation Given info: The atomic mass of U 238 is 238 u and the atomic mass of U 235 is 235 u , the value of u is 1.6605 × 10 − 27 kg . Write the expression for root mean square speed, V rms = 3 R T M Here, R is the ideal gas constant. T is the temperature in Kelvin. M is the molecular weight of the molecule. Since the temperature is same for both isotopes. The above expression becomes, v rms 238 v rms 235 =

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. T…

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.
