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.

What are the differences between natural radioactivity nd artificial radioactivity?

Natural Radioactivity arises from radioactive components contained in nature. Artificial Radioactivity will come through element produced with in nuclear reactors as well as accelerators. Natural Radioactivity is a spontaneous process of disintegration. Artificial Radioactivity is carried in synthetically produced radioactive elements used in nuclear reactors.


What is the radioactivity of sodium?

Sodium does not exhibit natural radioactivity. However, artificial radioisotopes of sodium can be produced in a laboratory setting through nuclear reactions.


Is natural radioactivity is random and artificial radioactivity is controlled?

Natural radioactivity occurs spontaneously in certain elements, so it is considered random. Artificial radioactivity, on the other hand, is intentionally induced through processes like nuclear reactions and can be controlled to some extent.


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.


Is the fission of uranium 235 an example of natural or artificial radioactivity?

The fission of uranium-235 is an example of natural radioactivity, as uranium-235 is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope. Artificial radioactivity, on the other hand, refers to the radioactivity induced in a normally stable element through processes like nuclear reactions or particle bombardment.

When large unstable nuclei split becuase the electric force is greater than the nuclear force this is called?

is it Nuclear physics, artificial transmutation, natural radioactivity, nucleus, or artificial radioactivity i think it is nuclear physics dont hold me accountable though

Natural radioactivity.


The differences between natural and artificial radioactivity?

Natural radioactivity occurs when certain elements spontaneously decay, emitting radiation. This can include isotopes like uranium and thorium found in the Earth's crust. Artificial radioactivity, on the other hand, is created by humans through processes such as nuclear reactions or particle accelerators. This includes isotopes that are not naturally occurring but are created in laboratories for various applications.


What is it called when nuclear force is greater than the electric force when large unstable nuclei split?

it is called natural radioactivity


What did Henri becquerel discover?
