noun
a word that refers to a person, place, thing, event, substance, or quality (in this case, 'daughter' is a noun referring to the product of radioactive decay)
-
The daughter isotope, also known as the decay product, is formed from the radioactive decay of the parent isotope.
-
So basically, the daughter isotope is what you get after the original isotope breaks down.
-
Once the parent isotope changes, the daughter isotope is born!
-
Just like how a child inherits traits from their parents, the daughter isotope inherits properties from the parent isotope.
