ATOMIC STRUCTURE AND RADIOACTIVITY

Atomic structure

Ionising Radiation! The stuff of science fiction nightmares! An invisible killer that detroys living

things! Murdered spies! Nuclear disasters! Radioactive waste! Nuclear destruction. It is vital that

we understand this natural phenomena. This is the page to do so….. But before we can

understand what ionising radiation is, we first need to understand the structure of the atom…..
