Radioactive Decay and Nuclear Transformations, Apuntes de Radiobiología

The fundamental concepts of radioactive decay and nuclear transformations. It aims to help students understand how different types of radioactive decay, such as alpha, beta, and positron emission, can change the composition of the nucleus, including the mass number, atomic number, and resulting isotope. Learning goals for students to be able to describe the changes in nucleons and predict the products of various decay processes. It also includes multiple-choice questions to assess students' understanding of these principles. This resource would be valuable for students studying nuclear physics, atomic structure, and radiochemistry at the university level, as it covers core topics in these fields and offers opportunities for active learning and assessment.
