Hi,
I have a question regarding the types of decay and the time of decay for an atomic nucleus.
Do all nuclei have a set decay time and method, (by method I mean Alpha, Beta, Gamma decay). i.e. does Uranium only decay via beta decay over a set time?
Or can an nucleus decay by any of the decay methods and by any amount of time?
Thanks
Dominic
