Radioactive decay is measured as a half life and it varies enormously. REALLY enormously! The shortest half life is for artificial elements where the half life is a few millionths of a second, the longest is hydrogen which has a half life of far longer than the lifetime of the universe!
Uranium has a half life of around 4000 million years; geologists use uranium (and other elements) to calculate the age of rocks based on how much of the uranium has decayed.
Radioactive decay is not affected by pressures that are achievable on Earth.
Radioactive decay may or may not involve electrons. There are different types of radioactive decay.
when an isotope is it does not undergo radioactive decay
Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of a nucleus into smaller parts.
Radioactive decay has the following properties: 1. No element can completely decay. 2. The number of atoms decaying in a particular period is proportional to the number of atoms present in the beginning of that period. 3. Estimate of radioactive decay can be made by half life and decay constant of a radioactive element.
If it is related to Nuclear studies, then the answer would be fusion.
No, radioactive decay isn't affected by anything - temperature or pressure because it isn't a chemical or physical reaction.

Radioactive elements break down in to stable isotopes through nuclear decay. The list of isotopes from a nuclear isotope to a stable isotope is called its decay chain.
radioactive decay
The radioactive decay of americium 241 is by alpha disintegration; the disintegration of radioactive krypton isotopes is by beta particles emission.
when an isotope is it does not undergo radioactive decay
Decay energy is the energy that has been freed during radioactive decay. When radioactive decay is ongoing it drops off some energy by means of discharging radiation.
One reason is that radioactive decay heats the earths interior
ernest Rutherford _______________________________________________________________ Radioactive decay was actually discovered in 1896 by Henri Bacquerel. Ernest Rutherford discovered the formula of radioactive decay (Such as the falk-life, differences between alpha and beta decay and even how the elements become new elements after the decay), but he did not discover the radioactive decay himself.
