1- Decay process is disintegration of the nucleus of an unstable nuclide by random emission of charged particles.

2- Radioactivity is the process by which radioactive isotopes emit energy in an attempt to achieve stability. 3- How to measure decays A=A0e- t 4- Units of decay are Curie and ec!uerel. "- A Curie (Ci) is a unit of activity e!ual to #.$%10 10 disintegrations per second. &- A Becquerel (Bq) is a unit of activity e!ual to 1 disintegration per second. 7- Refres your memory a!out unit systems

6- A rad (radiation A!sor!ed dose) is the amount of radiation depsotied 100 erg per unit of mass. 7- A rem(radiation equivalent man. is 8ad % 9/. A term that deals with the energy of radiation. 10- A "ray ("y) is similar to 8ad. :t is the amount of radiation deposited one ;oule of energy per (ilogram of matter. 11- A #ievert (#v) is ta(es into account the energy of radiation.
