Corpus analysis for Nuclide
- In this selection, "nuclide" usually appears in the middle of the sentence. The average example has 27.1 words, and this corpus slice is mostly made up of statements.
- Around the word, original, radioactive, parent and decays stand out and add context to how "nuclide" is used.
- Recognizable usage signals include a different nuclide and a fissionable nuclide is capable. That gives this page its own corpus information beyond isolated example sentences.
- By corpus frequency, "nuclide" sits close to words such as aaon, abbv and abdalla, which helps place it inside the broader word index.

The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
Isotopes per element seeAlso Of the known chemical elements, 80 elements have at least one stable nuclide. (17 words)
In this definition, "stable" means a nuclide that has never been observed to decay against the natural background. (18 words)
The total energy of the decay process is divided between the electron, the antineutrino, and the recoiling nuclide. (18 words)
Half-life in biology and pharmacology main A biological half-life or elimination half-life is the time it takes for a substance (drug, radioactive nuclide, or other) to lose one-half of its pharmacologic, physiologic, or radiological activity. (39 words)
In these cases, usually the half-life of interest in radiometric dating is the longest one in the chain, which is the rate-limiting factor in the ultimate transformation of the radioactive nuclide into its stable daughter. (37 words)
All radionuclides contained in the waste have a half-life —the time it takes for half of the atoms to decay into another nuclide —and eventually all radioactive waste decays into non-radioactive elements (i. (35 words)
Example sentences (15)
As in all nuclear decays, the decaying element (in this case ) is known as the parent nuclide while the resulting element (in this case ) is known as the daughter nuclide.
For all other nuclides, the proportion of the original nuclide to its decay products changes in a predictable way as the original nuclide decays over time.
That is, at some point in time, an atom of such a nuclide will undergo radioactive decay and spontaneously transform into a different nuclide.
A fissionable nuclide is capable of undergoing fission (even with a low probability) after capturing a high-energy neutron.
All radionuclides contained in the waste have a half-life —the time it takes for half of the atoms to decay into another nuclide —and eventually all radioactive waste decays into non-radioactive elements (i.
Even-even nuclides number as many as three isobar (nuclide)s for some mass numbers, and up to seven isotopes for some atomic (proton) numbers.
Half-life in biology and pharmacology main A biological half-life or elimination half-life is the time it takes for a substance (drug, radioactive nuclide, or other) to lose one-half of its pharmacologic, physiologic, or radiological activity.
However, this is the present limit of detection, as the nuclide with the next-shortest half-life ( 92 Nb with half-life 34.7 million years) has not yet been detected in nature.
In these cases, usually the half-life of interest in radiometric dating is the longest one in the chain, which is the rate-limiting factor in the ultimate transformation of the radioactive nuclide into its stable daughter.
In this definition, "stable" means a nuclide that has never been observed to decay against the natural background.
Iron is especially common because it represents the minimum energy nuclide that can be made by fusion of helium in supernovae.
Isotopes per element seeAlso Of the known chemical elements, 80 elements have at least one stable nuclide.
These quantum shells correspond to a set of energy levels within the shell model of the nucleus; filled shells, such as the filled shell of 50 protons for tin, confers unusual stability on the nuclide.
The total energy of the decay process is divided between the electron, the antineutrino, and the recoiling nuclide.
This process happens when an energetic particle from a radioactive decay, often an alpha particle, reacts with a nucleus of another atom to change the nucleus into another nuclide.
