Ya Allah!
Bring me close to what is good for me and take away from me what is bad for
me. A new day has began, all my focus is success. the hard work toward success continues. my motivators are my parent, they are always looking forward to my success. always in support for decision. they are the best parent ever, although sometimes parent are really nasty but you should know they are the best guardian for you through your journey in life

RADIOACTIVITY: HENRI BECQUEREL
Radioactivity is a spontaneous disintegration of nucleus
resulting in the emission of particles and rays in the process. Note, the particles emitted are known as radioactive decay. When
disintegration occurs it produces another substance called the daughter nucleus
and the process is known as transmutation. The daughter nucleus is not stable
until they go through several spontaneous disintegration.
HENRI BECQUEREL was the first to investigate radioactivity
through salt called uranium in the year 1896. The rays emitted by WOULD
penetrate opaque materials, affect photographic plate and could also make
certain material florescence. The famous scientist, PIERE and MARIE CURRIE in
the year 1898 isolated two element called polonium and radium. From several experiment, it is observed that radiation liberates
energy called nuclear energy, it ionizes gas to make material florescence, it
affect photographic plates, it different from other chemical reaction because
temperature and pressure do not affect the rate at which it emit rays or
particles, it has high penetrating power, it is unstable.
The types of particles emitted are gamma rays (g), alpha rays (a) and beta rays (b). but sometimes neutron is included.
The
alpha ray has a symbol 42He, mass number of 4 and atomic number of 2
The
beta rays has a symbol -10e, mass number of 0 and atomic number -1
The
gamma ray has no symbol

IT A NEW BRIGHT DAY

riends,
it a bright day. I woke up today seeing am late for work. I was really tired to
jump up from my bed. I thought about something, what that?, it a thanks to my
creator. I thank God for giving me a chance to see another day. What I can say,
I wasn’t guaranteed before I went to bed last night but God gave me another
chance to see the beauty of today again. Some people passed away before this
morning, but yours is different. It a big thanks to the most high God, some are
not privileged to see this day but we are here reading this post. Please always
thank your creator because He is the giver and He can take anytime He feels
like taking.
Kindly reply
a capital letter “thank you”
