Nuclear chemistry is the study of the breakup of unstable nuclei, which results in the emission of radiation and energy. There are three types of radiation; alpha (α), beta (β) and gamma (γ).
Nuclear chemistry is the study of the break up of unstable nuclei, which results in the emission of radiation and the release of energy. This changes the unstable nuclei into more stable nuclei.
The stability of a nucleus depends on the proton to neutron ratio or balance. Radioactive emissions change the neutron to proton ratio and at the same time releases energy.
