A disintegration series is the pathway of a radioactively unstable element into a stable element. The pathway alters the atomic number of the element and converts the element into another element. A common one is the uranium disintegration series.

Definition of disintegration constant?

The disintegration constant is the fraction of the number of atoms of a radioactive nuclide which decay in unit time; is the symbol for the decay constant in the equation N = Noe^-t, where No is the initial number of atoms present, and N is the number of atoms present after some time (t).
