Answer:
21.3 Radioactive Decay
Recognize common modes of radioactive decay
Identify common particles and energies involved in nuclear decay reactions
Write and balance nuclear decay equations
Calculate kinetic parameters for decay processes, including half-life
Describe common radiometric dating techniques. Three of the most common types of decay are alpha decay (-decay), beta decay (-decay), and gamma decay (-decay), all of which involve emitting one or more particles. The weak force is the mechanism that is responsible for beta decay, while the other two are governed by the usual electromagnetic and strong forces.
