Radioactive Disintegration Series: The emission of α or β-particles from a Radioactive element results in the formation of a new element known as Daughter element and if it has an unstable nucleus, it further disintegrates to produce a new daughter element and the process continues till the end product is an element with a stable nucleus. Such a series of spontaneous radioactive changes starting from the parent element with an unstable nucleus up to the formation of a stable nucleus is called Radioactive Disintegration Series. The first natural radioactive series to be discovered is Uranium-238 series which involve 14 steps, out … Continue reading Radioactive Disintegration Series
