The Decay of Unstable Nuclei Heavy Particle Decay Discovery of a Radioactivity W Udo Schröder 2007 Alpha Decay 2 Marie amp Pierre Curie 18971904 studied pitchblende Ra powerful. Knowledge of subatomic particles has led to many advancements- unfortunately besides the advancements in power plants there has been costs-nuclear warfare and waste. Nuclear Decay. The nucleus-cluster of protons and neutrons-is in the centre of an atom. State that radioactive decay is a random and spontaneous process and that the rate of decay decreases exponentially with time.. Define the term radioactive half-life. .
