Yes. Each unstable element decays differently. Some emit gamma, some emit alpha, some emit beta, and some emit different combinations of those in different sequences as one unstable element gives rise to another unstable element.

When does decay occur?

Radioactive decay happens in an unstable isotope of a given element, as the isotope decays radiation is given off. As for when exactly, the decay of a nucleus is spontaneous and random so averages are used, these averages are different for different isotopes, but are measured as the "half life" (the time it takes for half the nucleus to decay).
