if an isotope broke down the electrical energy would become balanced as the outer electron/s would be taken from the atom and the isotope would become like a noble gas. isotopes can be used for radiation aswell!

What is an unstable isotope that breaks down and gives off energy in the form of charged particles?
Sounds to me like radiation from a radioactive isotope. The
breaking down part would be the half-life. But the isotope won't
completely break down. Only until it reaches a stable form. Such
as, radium-226 decays finally to lead-206. During the process it
emits charged Alpha particles.
