Radionuclide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A radionuclide is an atom with an unstable nucleus, which is a nucleus characterized by excess energy which is available to be imparted either to a newly-created radiation particle within the nucleu...

The past one hundred years has brought the incredible field of nuclear chemistry into all of our lives. We derive numerous benefits from it's applications, yet in most cases, we aren't even aware of them. ... ; Smoke Detectors and Americium-241;; Agricultural Applications - radioactive tracers;; Food Irradiation;

Radioactive Isotopes and X-rays ... Radioactive isotopes have unstable nuclei that spontaneously change to form more stable nuclei. As a result, either new isotopes or new elements are produced. In this process of nuclear change, three kinds of rays, called alpha, beta, and gamma rays, are emitted from the nuclei...
