PPT-Radioactive Decay

some atoms are unstable occasionally emitting particles from nucleus to become more stable radioactivity this changes the atom into a different type of atom parent element decays to daughter element. The purpose of this experiment is . to use first-order nuclear decay kinetics to determine the half-life of a nuclear reaction.. Smoke Detectors. Americium-241.
