What happens in radioactive decay?
Think about stability and what happens during the decay process.
What type of particle is emitted during alpha decay?
Consider the composition and charge of an alpha particle.
What type of particle is released in alpha decay?
Remember the composition of an alpha particle.
True or False: Beta decay results in a nucleus that has a higher atomic number.
Consider how the transformation affects the atomic number.
Calculate the remaining amount of a 100g sample of Uranium-235 after three half-lives, knowing its half-life is 700 million years.
Remember to apply the half-life principle iteratively.
Discuss the potential implications of radioactive decay in nuclear medicine and offer at least two examples.
Think about how the properties of different isotopes influence their application in medicine.
