Application of polar models in the description of radionuclide decomposition on the example of potassium-40
The pole model of the decay process of potassium-40 is given in the article. When using this model, we proceed from the fact that there is a pair connection between the proton and the electron in the form of an individual pole axis, which, with increasing energy, can vary its angle of inclination relative to the generalized axis. An increase in the angle of inclination of the pole axis is accompanied by an increase in its energy, this process is interrelated with the energy state of the pair electron. As the energy of the pair bond increases, the energy of the electron decreases and it occupies an energy level closer to the nucleus. With a critical increase in the energy of the pole axis, it deviates to the maximum angle, the electron, completely giving up energy, occupies a position that is closest to the nucleus, which creates real prerequisites for combining with the pair proton and the formation of a neutron. The most frequently encountered processes are described: β-decay and capture of the orbital electron.
