How does artificial transmutation differ from artificial radioactivity?
"Artificial transmutation" is a nuclear reaction induced in laboratory, its man made. Artificial radioactivity is a radioactive disintegration phenomenon supported by artificial isotopes.
Why natural radioactivity is a nuclear property?
All radioactivity whether natural or induced through man made activities is a nuclear process, because it involves changes in the nuclei of the atoms of the active material. This is true of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation.
Who is Henri bacquerel?
Henri Becquerel made the discovery of natural radioactivity in 1896 Paris Henri Becquerel made the discovery of natural radioactivity in 1896 Paris
What is the power formula for radioactivity?
Human + A lot of radioactivity = Dead
Can copper be converted into gold by artificial radioactivity?
Artifical radioactivity
Where does the element californium come from?
It is a man-made element and, due to its high radioactivity does not exist in nature.
How does artificial transmutation differ from artificial radioactivity?

What are the 5 man made heat sources?
Machines, Radioactivity Electricity

What did Marie Curie do after discovered Radioactivity?
She made a potato soup.
What has the author Wilfrid Basil Mann written?
Wilfrid Basil Mann has written: 'Radioactivity and its measurement' -- subject(s): Radioactivity 'Was there a fifth man?' -- subject(s): Nuclear research
What significant events happened when Marie curie made her discovery?

What is made up of 2 protons and 2 neutrons?
In terms of radioactivity it is an alpha particle.
How does radioactivity affect the water cycle?
Radioactivity affect the water molecules. Radioactivity makes it harmful
What are the hazards to francium?
The main hazard is its radioactivity. It is so radioactive it will vaporize itself because of the tremendous heat made by its radioactivity, but you don't have to worry about it since you can't even collect a nanogram of it.
