Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The term radioactive decay needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Whenever there is an unstable nucleus in an atom, it loses some energy in a form of radiations to come in stable state. This processes of emitting radiation is known as radioactivity.

Answer to Problem 79A
Radioactive decay is a process of emitting radiations from unstable nuclei to bring it in a stable form.
Explanation of Solution
Some materials have unstable nucleithese types of materials are known as a radioactive material. These materials emit radiations to come in a stable form through a process of radioactive decay. An unstable atom goes into radioactive decay until it forms a stable atom. Radiations released during radioactive decay are of three types on the basis of effect on electric fields.
- Alpha Radiation
- Beta Radiation
- Gamma Radiation
Radioactive material emits radiation to come in stable form this process is known as radioactive decay.
