It varies from one element to another. It is measured in terms of its half-life. A half-life is the length of time it takes for half the number of radioactive atoms of the element in a lump to decay.
After disintegration all radioactive elements are transformed in other elements.
This the decay (disintegration) rate.
By Becquerels, which is one disintegration per second, or by curies, which is 3.3x1010 disintegrations per second.

This phenomenon is called radioactive disintegration.
Radioactivity refers to the emission of ionizing particles which results from the spontaneous disintegration of atomic nuclei. Some examples of radioactive elements are uranium and plutonium.
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).
The radioactive decay of americium 241 is by alpha disintegration; the disintegration of radioactive krypton isotopes is by beta particles emission.
By Becquerels, which is one disintegration per second, or by curies, which is 3.3x1010 disintegrations per second.
Ernest Rutherford won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1908 for his investigations into the disintegration of elements and the chemistry of radioactive substances. He is known for his discovery of the concept of radioactive half-life and distinguishing between alpha, beta, and gamma radiation.
No. It is a nuclear reaction - radioactive disintegration.
