Title
Radioactive transformations
Description
Ernest Rutherford compiled the various advances he and his collaborators had achieved into the book Radioactive Transformations (1906). This text shows a similar graph as seen in The Radioactivity of Uranium, with a different set of elements. The two graphs are remarkably similar, which underscores the universal application of Rutherford and Soddy’s principles. Modern geochronologists avail themselves of a wide variety of radioactive elements found in different minerals, all with different constants and half-lives that are suited to a specific geologic problem.
