Alpha Decay and Its Relationship to the Lightest Uranium Isotope
What has 122 neutrons, 92 protons, a half-life of .52 milliseconds, and it is the lightest version of this element? The answer is Uranium-214. It has only 122 neutrons compared with the 146 neutrons found in Uranium-238, which makes up > 99% of the world’s naturally occurring uranium. Isotopes of a particular element always have […]
