Heavy radioactive nucleus decay through alpha- decay also. Consider a radioactive nucleus x. It spontaneously undergoes decay at rest resulting in the formation of a daughter nucleus y and the emission of an alpha- particle. The radioactive reaction can be given by x rarr y + alpha However , the nucleus y and the alpha- particle will be in motion. Then a natural question arises that what provides kinetic energy to the radioactive products. In fact, the difference of masses of the decaying nucleus and the decay products provides for the energy that is shared by the daughter nucleus and the alpha- particle as kinetic energy . We know that Einstein's mass-energy equivalence relation E = m c^(2) . Let m_(x), m_(y) and m_(alpha) be the masses of the parent nucleus x, the daughter nucleus y and alpha- particle respectively. Also the kinetic energy of alpha- particle just after the decay is E_(0) . Assuming all motion of to be non-relativistic. Just after the decy , if the speed of alpha- particle is v, then the speed of the centre of mass of the system of the daughter nucleud y and the alpha- particle will be

Various rules of thumb have seen proposed by the scientific community to expalin the mode of radioactive decay by various radioisotopes. One of the major rules is called the n//p ratio. If all the known isotopes of the elemnts are plotted on a graph of number of neutrons (n) versus number of protons (p), it is observed that all isotopes lying outside of a ''stable'' n//p ratio region are radioactive as shown fig. The graph exhibits straight line behaviour with unit slope up to p=25 . Above p=25 , tgose isotopes with n//p ratios lying above the stable region usually undergo beta decay. Very heavy isotopes (pgt83) are unstable because of their relativley large nuclei and they undergo alpha decay. Gamma ray emission does not involve the release of a particle. It represnts a change in an atom from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. How would the radioisotope of magnesium with atomic mass 27 undergo radioactive decay?.
