1 Ci = 3.7.10 10 Bq
Both are considered measures of the number of disintegrations per second or of the frequency with which an atom in a given sample will undergo radioactive decay and emit a particle or photon of radiation.
The curie (1 Ci is equivalent to approximately 37,000,000,000 disintegrations per second). The Becquerel is the SI unit of radioactivity. One Bq equals one disintegration per second. The Bq is the unit in the SI, although the curium is still widely used.
