Nuclear Radiation

Marie Curie was a Polish scientist whose research led to many discoveries about radiation and radioactive elements. In 1934 she died from leukemia caused by her long-term exposure to radiation. You will learn about the various types of radiation and their effects.

Nuclear Radiation > Radioactivity

Marie Curie (1867-1934) and Pierre Curie (1859-1906) were able to show that rays emitted by uranium atoms caused fogging in photographic plates.

• Marie Curie named the process by which materials give off such rays radioactivity.

• The penetrating rays and particles emitted by a radioactive source are called radiation.

Nuclear Radiation > Radioactivity

Nuclear reactions differ from chemical reactions in a number of important ways.

• In chemical reactions, atoms tend to attain stable electron configurations by losing or sharing electrons.

• In nuclear reactions, the nuclei of unstable isotopes, called radioisotopes, gain stability by undergoing changes.

Alpha Radiation

Alpha radiation consists of helium nuclei that have been emitted from a radioactive source. These emitted particles, called alpha particles, contain two protons and two neutrons and have a double positive charge.

Beta Radiation

An electron resulting from the breaking apart of a neutron in an atom is called a beta particle.

Gamma Radiation

A high-energy photon emitted by a radioisotope is called a gamma ray. The high-energy photons are electromagnetic radiation.
