Also agrees with Celsius values from Section 4: Properties of the Elements and Inorganic Compounds, Melting, Boiling, Triple, and Critical Point Temperatures of the Elements Estimated accuracy for T c and P c is indicated by the number of digits.
The earlier liquid drop model thus suggested that spontaneous fission would occur nearly instantly due to disappearance of the fission barrier for nuclei with about 280 nucleons. [ 40 ] [ 50 ] The later nuclear shell model suggested that nuclei with about 300 nucleons would form an island of stability in which nuclei will be more resistant to ...
Twenty isotopes of californium are known (mass number ranging from 237 to 256 [11]); the most stable are 251 Cf with half-life 898 years, 249 Cf with half-life 351 years, 250 Cf at 13.08 years, and 252 Cf at 2.645 years. [11] All other isotopes have half-life shorter than a year, and most of these have half-lives less than 20 minutes. [11]
Strontium-90 is a strong beta emitter with a half-life of 28.8 years. Its fission product yield decreases as the mass of the fissile nuclide increases - fission of 233 U produces more 90 Sr than fission of 239 Pu with fission of 235 U in the middle. A map of 90 Sr contamination around Chernobyl has been published by the IAEA. [1]

This is sometimes dominated by alpha decay or spontaneous fission, especially for the heavy elements. Observed decay modes are listed as α for alpha decay, SF for spontaneous fission, and n for neutron emission in the special case of 5 He. For mass 5 there are no bound isobars at all; mass 8 has bound isobars, but the beta-stable 8 Be is ...
A point particle is an appropriate representation of any object whenever its size, shape, and structure are irrelevant in a given context. For example, from far enough away, any finite-size object will look and behave as a point-like object. Point masses and point charges, discussed below, are two common cases.
