give off nuclear radiation
Alpha, beta, double beta, gamma decays.
A stable, nonradioactive atom must be formed.
Atomic nuclei that are unstable and decaying are said to be radioactive. Radioactive decay involves alpha, beta and gamma particle emissions.
If it is related to Nuclear studies, then the answer would be fusion.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. Stable isotopes have a balanced number of protons and neutrons, meaning their nuclei do not decay over time. Unstable isotopes, also known as radioactive isotopes, have an imbalance of protons and neutrons, causing their nuclei to decay and emit radiation over time.
It isn't really an ELEMENT that is unstable, but an ISOTOPE. That means that in general, for the same element, some atoms will decay, and some will not - the difference being the number of neutrons in the nucleus.
radioactive decay
Unstable Isotopes will degrade through radioactive decay into other types of atoms. To break it down Unstable isotopes are those whose moleules break down to form new atoms and ions.
A stable, nonradioactive atom must be formed.
It means that massive nuclei break apart.
Unstable atoms are said to be radioactive
The more unstable an atom the more likely it is to lose energy. The process atoms losing energy this way is called radioactive decay.
