They decay to lower energy states of the nuclide through two isomeric transitions:[br] -> γ- emission (emission of a high-energy photon)[br] -> internal conversion (the energy is used to ionize the atom)[br] Contrast this with the definition of a chemical isomer, the more common use of the word. Also contrast with the meaning of isotope, in which the difference is the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Metastable isomers of a particular atom are usually designated with an "m" (or, in the case of atoms with more than one isomer, 2m, 3m, and so on). This designation is usually placed after the atomic symbol and number of the atom (e.g., Co-58m), but is sometimes placed as a superscript before (e.g., [sup]m[/sup]Co-58 or [sup]58m[/sup]Co).</desc> + <references> + <refitem>Isotope</refitem> + <refitem>Isobar</refitem> + <refitem>Isotone</refitem> + </references> + </item> + <item> + <name>Beta rays</name> + <desc>Rays consisting of electrons that are emitted from Atoms of radioactive elements.</desc> + </item> + <item> + <name>Electron</name> + <desc>The electron is a subatomic particle with a mass of m[sub]e[/sub]=(9.1093897 ± 0.0000054)e-31 kg and a negative charge of [i]e[/i]=(1.60217733 ± 0.00000049)e-19 C + </desc> + <references> + <refitem>Atom</refitem> + </references> + </item> + <item> + <name>Proton</name> + <desc>The proton is a subatomic particle with a mass of m[sub]e[/sub]=(1.6726231 ± 0.0000010) 10[sup]-27[/sup] kg and a positive charge of [i]e[/i]=(1.60217733 ± 0.00000049) 10[sup]-19[/sup] C which occurs in the nucleus of an atom.</desc> + <references> + <refitem>Atom</refitem> + <refitem>Electron</refitem> + <refitem>Neutron</refitem> + </references> + </item> + <item> + <name>Neutron</name> + <desc>The neutron is a subatomic particle with a mass of m[sub]e[/sub]=(1.6749286 ± 0.0000010) 10[sup]-27[/sup] kg which occurs in the nucleus of an atom.</desc> + <references> + <refitem>Atom</refitem> + <refitem>Electron</refitem> + <refitem>Proton</refitem> + </references> + </item> + <item> + <name>Cathode Rays</name> + <desc>Cathode rays are streams of electrons observed in vacuum tubes, i.e. evacuated glass tubes that are equipped with at least two electrodes, a cathode (negative electrode) and an anode (positive electrode) in a configuration known as a diode.</desc> + <references> + <refitem>Electron</refitem> + </references> + </item> + <item> + <name>Ionic Radius</name> + <desc>The Ionic Radius is the radius of a charged atom, a so called ion.
