Radioactivity is purely a nuclear phenomenon, and is not affected by
Correct answer: D. All
- A. Physical or chemical reaction
- B. Temperature
- C. Pressure
- D. All
Explanation
Radioactive decay is a process that occurs in the nucleus of an unstable atom, and it is not influenced by external factors such as physical or chemical reactions, temperature, or pressure.

About Nuclear Physics
Atomic nuclei contain protons and neutrons, with nuclear size, mass defect and binding energy describing their stability. The work covers alpha, beta and gamma decay, decay equations, half-life and decay rate, along with radiation safety and medical applications such as imaging, radiotherapy and tracers.
