Alpha decay = big nuclei
Beta decay = too many neutrons
positron emission / electron capture= too many protons.

There are four commonly recognized levels of radioactivity: background, elevated, high, and extremely high. Background refers to the natural level of radiation present in the environment. Elevated refers to slightly higher levels of radiation, typically found in certain regions or situations. High levels of radioactivity pose a significant risk to human health and safety, requiring prompt action to mitigate exposure. Extremely high levels are extremely dangerous and can cause severe health effects immediately.

Is pyrite radioactive?
There are many forms of pyrite, and it is possible that a radioactive isotope may be incorporated, but this is very uncommon. Even then the radioactivity would not be at harmful levels.
What is the power formula for radioactivity?
Human + A lot of radioactivity = Dead
Can copper be converted into gold by artificial radioactivity?
Artifical radioactivity
When did Marie curie build radioactivity?
no but she built the knowleage of radioactivity.
Is radioactivity extensive or intensive?
is radioactivity extensive or intensive or chemical property
What is a sentence for radioactivity?
Chernobyl is well-known for it's dangerously high radioactivity levels.
What plant is used to detect radioactivity?
Certain types of spiderwort are used to detect radioactivity. Specifically the Ohio spiderwort, Tradscantia ohiensis can show low levels of radioactivity when the stamen hairs, which are normally blue, grow pink as a result of genetic mutation.
Who discovered radioactivity?
henri bacquerel discovered radioactivity in 1896.Artificial radioactivity was first discovered by Joliot Curie and her husband in 1934 while studying the effect of alpha particle bombardment on like elements like Aluminium
How many years does it take for spent nuclear fuel rods to reach safe levels of radioactivity?
1 billion years
Is baldness also an effect of radioactivity?
It's not technically baldness, I suppose "hair loss" is more accurate. But, yes, radioactivity is physically harmful and loss of hair is a common result from heavy exposure. We're talking nuclear reactor or chemo-therapy with radioactive materials levels, not "stand in front of the microwave" or "get sunburnt" levels...
Is pyrite radioactive?
