When is the nucleus stable?
When the neutron to proton ratio is one (for light
elements)
An element changes into another element because it is
radioactive.
A high speed electron.
Antimatter to an electron.
A helium nucleus.
A form of energy like light.
An element is bombarded to make it change into
another element.
During each half-life, ½ of the material transmutates.
The number of half-lives is found by dividing the total
time by the half-life time.
