Answer:
- These characteristics are also called as Rutherford-Soddy's radioactive disintegration theory
- Radioactivity is a purely nuclear phenomenon. The nucleus of a radioactive substance is unstable and such unstable nucleus undergoes spontaneous breakdown (disintegration). The process continues till a stable nucleus is obtained.
- As radioactivity is the nuclear phenomenon it is unaffected by chemical combination. i.e. the element will exhibit radioactivity in free as well as a combined state.
