Show the decomposition of radium differs from all chemical reactions in the following respects it rate of 0 decomposition Is always the same regardless of temperature pressure of the chemical combination of 0 the radium with other elements according to a writer in the chiea chicago 0 o tribune it Is accompanied by the release of vastly greater amounts of energy than is the case in any chemical reaction its decomposition products cannot be recombined directly or indirectly to give radium again chemical changes disturb only the outer electrons of the atoms involved A radioactive radio active change Is a spontaneous bursting apart of a structurally unstable atomic nucleus |
