APE MAN • The number of PROTONS in the nucleus for any given element is always the same and this is the ATOMIC NUMBER
Isotopes • Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different atomic masses
Radioactivity • The process in which an unstable atomic nucleus emits charged PARTICLES and ENERGY.
RADIOISOTOPE • Any atom containing an UNSTABLE nucleus. • Will spontaneously change into other isotopes over time.
Nuclear Radiation • The charged particles and energy emitted from the NUCLEUS of RADIOISITOPES.
Half-Life • The amount of time necessary for one-half of the radioactive material to decay.
