Radiogenic nuclide

ID: radiogenic-nuclide

A radiogenic nuclide is a type of nuclide (an atomic species defined by its number of protons and neutrons) that is produced by the radioactive decay of another nuclide. When an unstable (parent) nuclide undergoes radioactive decay, it transforms into a more stable (daughter) nuclide, which is referred to as a radiogenic nuclide.
