can you tell me about radioactivity and the decay of free neutrons

beta decay to a proton, electron, antineutrino?

what do you want to know about it

wikipedia might be a better source than me, unless you need to do some sort of equation

Outside the nucleus, free neutrons are unstable and have a mean lifetime of 885.7±0.8 s (about 14 minutes, 46 seconds); therefore the half-life for this process (which differs from the mean lifetime by a factor of ln(2) = 0.693) is 613.9±0.8 s (about 10 minutes, 14 seconds).[2] Free neutrons decay by emission of an electron and an electron antineutrino to become a proton, a process known as beta decay:[5]
n⁰ → p+ + e⁻ + νe

my calcalashuns arent giving me the proper conservation of energy for energy of the neutrino

o wait, i think i got it

that was a stupid problem, made it way too complicated

physix homework is finished, now i just need to do a shit ton of online chem homework

have clearly payed any attention at all to that class the past month, need to learn thermo shit

ez
