Abstract
The basic forms of radioactive disintegration of the transuranium elements are α decay, electron capture or β decay, and spontaneous fission, the part played by each of these forms of disintegration being different for different Z and A numbers of the nuclei concerned. The explanation of the relationships in the variation in properties of already known isotopes and the estimation of the disintegration energy and lifetime in relation to one form or another of radioactive transformation of uninvestigated nuclei are very important both for an understanding of the structure of the nucleus, and from the point of view of the synthesis of new elements, as well as for certain problems of astrophysics and cosmology.
