|
|
Electronegative
|
|
|
Radioactive isotope
|
|
|
Ionic lattice
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As the nucleus emits radiation or disintegrates, the radioactive atom (radionuclide) transforms to a different nuclide. This process is called radioactive decay. It will continue until the forces in the nucleus are balanced.
Detailed explanation-2: -Radioactive Decay This radiation can be emitted in the form of positively charged alpha particles, negatively charged beta particles, gamma rays, or x-rays, as explained below. Through this process-called radioactive decay-radioisotopes lose their radioactivity over time.
