Betahajoamisessa
Betahajoamisessa, often shortened to "betahajo" in common parlance, refers to the process of beta decay, a type of radioactive decay in which a neutron in an atomic nucleus is converted into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino. This transformation results in the emission of a beta particle, which is the electron, from the nucleus. As a consequence of this decay, the atomic number of the nucleus increases by one, while its mass number remains unchanged.
This fundamental process is a key mechanism by which unstable isotopes reach a more stable configuration. The
Beta decay is a fundamental process in nuclear physics and plays a significant role in various phenomena,
