Question

What is the process by which atomic nuclei spontaneously decay called?

Answer 1

Answer:

The process by which atomic nuclei spontaneously decay is called radioactive decay.

Explanation:

This is also known as nuclear decay on a general basis.

In this process of radioactivity the unstable atomic nucleus loses energy. It loses energy in regard to terms of mass in its rest frames and does so by emitting of radiation.

Examples include, alpha particle, beta particle.

Answer 2

Hey Dear,

◆ Answer -

The process by which atomic nuclei spontaneously decay called radioactive decay.

● Radioactive decay -

• Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting radiation.
• Time taken for the activity of a given amount of a radioactive substance to decay to half of its initial value is called its half life.

Radioactive decay can be of following types -

1. alpha decay
2. beta decay
3. gamma decay
4. positron emission
5. electron capture
6. spontaneous fission

Hope this helped you. Thanks for asking..
