    The nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutrons, with electrons orbiting around it. Protons have a positive charge while neutrons have no charge. Isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Radioactivity is the spontaneous and random emission of radiation from unstable radioactive materials as they become more stable over time, through the emission of alpha, beta, or gamma rays.

    1 THE NUCLEUS OF AN ATOM

    Composition of the nucleus


    Atomic Model has a nucleus which consists of proton

    and neutron with electron revolving around the nucleus like the planet revolving around the Sun. A proton has a positive charge whereas an electron has a negative charge. Nucleons = proton + neutron Neutron is .?

    Nuclide notation

    Isotopes
    Isotopes are atoms with the same proton number

    but different nucleon number.

    Example:

    Radioactivity
    Radioactivity is the spontaneous and random

    emission of radioactive rays from unstable radioactive materials after which they become more stable.
    Spontaneous emission? not influenced by any physical factors such as temperature, pressure, time. Random emission? emission occurs at irregular intervals emission occurs at irregular intervals

    Types for radiation


    Alpha,
    Beta, Gamma,

    Characteristics of the three types of Radioactive Emissions
