What is non radioactive decay?

Answer 1

Radioactive decay is the spontaneous change or disintegration of an unstable atomic nucleus as it transforms itself to lose energy. It does this by the release of either particulate radiation or electromagnetic radiation, or both. This atomic event is random and cannot be predicted, but by applying statistical principles to large numbers of a given radionuclide, an "average" decay time can be found, and we have the half-life. There are several different types of radioactive decay. They range from spontaneous fission to alpha decay, beta decay and a couple of others.

The spontaneous breakdown of a nucleus

Answer 2

Non-radioactive decay refers to the process by which unstable nuclei of certain elements decay into different isotopes or elements without emitting radiation. This type of decay typically involves processes such as electron capture, positron emission, or beta decay, where the nucleus undergoes a transformation without releasing high-energy particles or photons.

Answer 3

its the decay of radioactiveness in geology

Answer 4

Biological decay by bacteria or fungi (e.g. tooth decay, moldy food, breakdown of rocks by lichen, dry rot).

Answer 5

Radioactive decay refers to the spontaneous disintegration of the radioactive substances together with the emission of the ionizing radiation.

Answer 6

the spontaneous breakdown of a nucleus.
