Radioactive decay is random
Radioactive decay is random
Some atomic nuclei are unstable. An unstable nucleus releases energy by giving out nuclear radiation, becoming more stable in the process.
Step-by-step lessons covering AQA GCSE Physics 4.2.1 Radioactive decay and nuclear radiation for Foundation and Higher tier. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Paper 1 and Paper 2 format. Build a strong grip on equations, units and Key Stage 3 fundamentals before tackling the more demanding topics like electromagnetism, the particle model of matter and space physics.
