Nuclear liquid-drop model applied to radioactive decay modes

Knowlegde in nuclear physics theoryThe liquid-drop model in nuclear physics was originally proposed by George Gamow and developed by Hans Bethe and Carl von Weizsäcker in the 1930s. It treats the nucleus as an incompressible fluid of protons and neutrons bound together by the strong nuclear force.In this Demonstration, theoretical values of nuclear masses for all observed nuclides from Z=4 to 94, calculated to 0.001 amu, are displayed in the boxes. To further extend the liquid drop model, any possible alpha,positive beta , or negative beta radioactive decay modes are predicted. Results from the liquid-drop model can be compared with experimental isotope data sources accessible from the Wolfram websiteComponente Curricular::Educação Superior::Ciências Exatas e da Terra::Físic
