As carbon-14 decays, it transforms into nitrogen-14 through the process of beta decay. So, the amount of nitrogen-14 increases as carbon-14 decays.
After you die and your body decays, it is called decomposition. Decomposition is the process by which organic matter breaks down into simpler substances.
bismuth 210 decays by beta decay to polonium 210 that decays by alpha decay to lead 206
H+ ion
Beta
Carbon-14 decays by beta-, which emits a W- boson that immediately decays into an electron and an electron anti-neutrino.
When a positive pion decays, it produces a muon and a neutrino.
The process that describes organic material turning into stone is called petrification. This occurs when organic matter becomes replaced by minerals, conserving its original structure but transforming it into a stonelike substance. Over time, the organic material decays, leaving behind a fossilized stone replica of the original organism.
dead
After the internal organs have been removed the body decays
Waste that decays is called biodegradable waste. Dead plant material that has decayed (as in compost) is called humus.
As carbon-14 decays, it transforms into nitrogen-14 through the process of beta decay. So, the amount of nitrogen-14 increases as carbon-14 decays.
Agrobacterium
unstable, radioactive
Curie: A unit of radioactivity equal to 3.7 � 10^10 Disintegrations (decays) per second.
After you die and your body decays, it is called decomposition. Decomposition is the process by which organic matter breaks down into simpler substances.
An atom whose nucleus decays over time is called radioactive. Some examples of radioactive substances are uranium, plutonium, and einsteinium.
