They don't. Electrons come and electrons go, and the nucleus doesn't much care.
Radioactivity is the process of the nucleusfalling apart.

How does salt affect the movement of molecules?
Salt affect the movement of molecules due to its atoms and neurons and electrons contains it.
Is most atoms have more electrons than proton?
No. Atoms have the same number of protons and electrons. When atoms gain or lose electrons they are called ions.
Why do you think atoms lose electrons to or gain electrons from other atoms?
to become stable
What electrons are the reactive particles of the atoms?
The Outermost Electrons are the reactive particles of the atoms.
Does the ability of atoms to conduct electricity have to with loosely held electrons?
Electrons shared between atoms.
What two things can atoms do to achieve a stable octet of electrons?
They can either pick the electrons from around them, or start throwing them off in a measure of radioactivity.
Do chemical reactions result in the nuclei of the atoms involved?
No, chemical reactions result only in the electrons of the atoms being involved. Only radioactivity results n nuclei of atoms being involved.
How does radioactivity affect the water cycle?
Radioactivity affect the water molecules. Radioactivity makes it harmful
How the number of electrons in the outer shells will affect an atoms tendency to interact with other atoms?
The answer varies between different atoms -Kill_Me0215
How does a microwave affect a pacemaker?
The radioactivity from it can affect it.
How does salt affect the movement of molecules?
Salt affect the movement of molecules due to its atoms and neurons and electrons contains it.
What are some details of the number of valence electrons in atoms affect the reactivity of elements?

Are radio active elements self substaining?
It depends on what you mean. If you mean, are they able to sustain radioactivity by themselves forever then, no. The radioactivity is a result of the breakdown of atoms in these elements into other atoms, fragments of atoms and various forms of energy. So when the supply of atoms capable of breaking down eliminates itself the radioactivity ceases.
Can particles leave the atom?
Yes. This process is called radioactive decay. The primary particles emitted are alpha particles, which are helium-4 nuclei, and beta particles, which are electrons.
What particle of atoms affects how they react with other elements?
The electrons, or the electron cloud, of an atom affect how it reacts chemically with other atoms and molecules.
What do atoms do when electrons move energy levels?
Atoms don't do anything. If the electrons go to a higher energy state, they use energy. If they fall back to a lower state, they release energy. This shouldn't affect the entire atom, just the electrons.
Does each electron consist of only one type of atom?
Electrons are smaller than atoms. There are electrons in atoms, but no atoms in electrons.
