Q.No.196: - What is the difference between natural and artificial radioactivity?

Ans: - In natural radioactivity and atomic nuclei want to became stable that’s why they emit some radiations and such atoms are called radioactive and the process is called natural radioactivity.

In artificial radioactivity the atomic nuclei which are not excited but we excite them by bombarding neutrons or protons and after excitation of nuclei the atom become radioactive and emit radiation this is called artificial radioactivity.
