A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Nuclear stability. Natural artificial radioactivity: Alpha, beta and gamma rays.

This topic covers why some nuclei are stable while others are unstable, and how unstable nuclei undergo radioactive decay by emitting alpha, beta, or gamma radiation. For the exam, you must master the factors affecting nuclear stability, distinguish natural from artificial radioactivity, and correctly predict how atomic number and mass number change in each type of emission.
