15. Many nuclei can exhibit this type of decay.

1. Reaction in which two or more nuclei are combined into a single entity.
3. A kick starter amount of energy that is needed to get a process started.
4. Ability to do work.
5. Radioactive decays are transitions between different states of nuclei-typically, the decay of a neutron into a what?
