Definition
Spontanious fission of unstable isotopes
Term
What is half life?
Definition
Time it takes for 1/2 the mass of radioactive isotopes to decay
Term
What is transmutation reaction?
Definition
when an atom is going to change from one element to another
Term
On the band of stability every atom beyond      will be unstable/decay
