   Becquerel
   The Becquerel is a unit used to measure a radioactivity. One Becquerel isthat quantity of a radioactive material that will have 1 transformations inone second. As a result of having one Becquerel being equal to one transformationper second, there are 3.7x10¹⁰ Bq in one curie.ttle='Radioactivity';xiunt='Bq';yiunt='curie';mconv=3.7e10;ccon...

   Becquerel
   The SI unit of intrinsic radioactivity in a material. One Bq measures one disintegration per second and is thus the activity of a quantity of radioactive material which averages one decay per second. (In practice, GBq or TBq are the common units)

   becquerel
   Becquerel (Bq) is the SI derived unit, with a special name, for radioactivity, equal to s-1. It describes a radioactivity of an amount of radionuclide decaying at the rate, on average, of one spontaneous nuclear transition per second. The unit is named after the French scientist A. H. Becquerel (1852-1908) (disintegrations per unit time), equal to ...

    Becquerel
    The `becquerel` (symbol `Bq`) is the SI derived unit of radioactivity, defined as the activity of a quantity of radioactive material in which one nucleus decays per second. It is therefore equivalent to s-1. The older unit of radioactivity was the curie (Ci), defined as 3.7×1010 becquerels or 37 GBq. The becquerel is named for Henri Becquerel, who shared a Nobel Prize with Pierre and Marie Curie for their work in discovering radioactivity. ...
