Question

On two different size planets occurs radioactive decay, is the amount of decay the same?

Answer 1

No due to the atomic nucleus is extremely tiny compared with the overall size of the atom—about 100,000 times smaller in diameter. Since the nucleus is located at the centre of the atom, it is well shielded by the surrounding electrons from external physical and chemical conditions. Radioactive decay, being a nuclear process, is thus considered to be independent of external conditions.

Answer 2

since the nucleus is present at the centre the centre of mass the nucleus is compared with overall size of an atom



it is considered to be independent on the external conditions
