And if at times these things bent the welded iron of his soul , much more did his far-away domestic memories of his young Cape wife and child , tend to bend him still more from the original ruggedness of his nature , and open him still further to those latent influences which , in some honest-hearted men , restrain the gush of dare-devil daring , so ...
Radioactive decay (also known as nuclear decay or radioactivity) is the process by which the nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy by emitting radiation, including alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, and conversion electrons. A material that spontaneously emits such radiation is considered radioactive.
When an unstable nucleus of a radioactive isotope spontaneously  decays, the radioactive decay process is normally gamma radiation,  beta particle or alpha particle emission â¦ .his is called Carbon12.   Carbon14 with 6 protons and 8 neutrons, is unstable and decays by releasing a beta particle from its nucleus to become a stable isotope, Nitrogen14. which has 7 protons and 7 neutrons. That refers to an isotope that is unstable-the atoms will decay after a while.
