To disintegrate. That is, some of the atoms in a sample will disintegrate over time.
Radioactivity is the property in which unstable nuclei of an element spontaneously emit radiation.
You can say that as long as the alpha particle itself is not originating from a radioactive element. If however one is able to isolate the helium nucleus from the elemental atom and then used for bombarding towards the beryllium then it is considered as an example of artificial radioactivity. Or the production of a radioactive element(synthetic element) like Francium can be considered artificial radioactivity.
The number in radioactivity typically refers to the amount of radioactive material present, measured in units such as becquerels or curies. This number signifies the rate at which the material emits radiation and helps determine the potential health risks associated with exposure.
The tendency for a material to oppose the flow of electrons and convert electrical energy into thermal energy and light is known as resistance. This property is determined by the material's resistivity and is quantified in ohms (Ω). The higher the resistance of a material, the more it will convert electrical energy into heat and light.
Plutonium is the radioactive element named after the god of the underworld, Pluto. It is used in nuclear reactors and weapons due to its high radioactivity.
All the isotopes of uranium are radioactive !
The length of time required for half of a sample of radioactive material to decay
Radioactivity is the property in which unstable nuclei of an element spontaneously emit radiation.
Radioactivity gradually falls in all radioactive materials, how quickly it falls depends on the half-life of the material. The radioactivity of a material with a short half-life will fall alot quicker than the radioactivity of a material with a long half-life.
No. The activity rate declines exponentially but mathematically, even though it gets closer and closer to zero, it can never attain that value.
A radioactive material is radioactive. Period. The atoms of radioactive material have unstable nuclei. If you combine them with other material, the radioactive material will remain unaffected as regards its radioactivity. Recall that radioactivity is related to the instability of atomic nuclei, and the atomic structure of atomic nuclei are (in general) not involved in chemical bonding. Chemical bonding doesn't affect the stability of the nuclei of atoms. If they are unstable, they will remain so whether the atoms are alone or chemically combined with something else.
It is a man-made element and, due to its high radioactivity does not exist in nature.
Radioactivity is discovered on uranium.

Radioactivity
Americium is a synthetic element that typically uses plutonium as the starting material for its production. It is commonly used in smoke detectors and in some medical devices for imaging purposes due to its radioactivity.
