| 31. | A half-life of 0.89 ms was calculated : decays into by alpha decay.
|
| 32. | The first decay processes to be discovered were alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay.
|
| 33. | It does not work through fission like a nuclear reactor does, but through natural alpha decay.
|
| 34. | The elements heavier than that have to shed weight to achieve stability, most usually as alpha decay.
|
| 35. | It is also possible that 298 Fl can be synthesized by the alpha decay of a massive nucleus.
|
| 36. | In contrast, actinides undergo multiple alpha decays, each with decay energy around 4-5 MeV.
|
| 37. | Rutherford and Soddy were observing natural transmutation as a part of radioactive decay of the alpha decay type.
|
| 38. | Calculations in a quantum tunneling model show that such superheavy nuclei would undergo alpha decay within microseconds or less.
|
| 39. | Lighter astatine isotopes have quite high energies of alpha decay, which become lower as the nuclei become heavier.
|
| 40. | All of these decay only through alpha decay, although some unknown bohrium isotopes are predicted to undergo spontaneous fission.
