Radioactive decay has nothing to do with chemistry and therefore may not be a chemical reaction. But since matter changes its properties (they are even irreversibly) it is considered to be reaction of one (elemental) reactant. Most decay reactions are kinetically of zero order.
Different types of radioactive decay include decay by alpha emission (emits an alpha particle, 2 protons and 2 neutrons), Beta - emission, and Beta + emission (positron emission or electron capture).
Some radioactive materials also output gamma rays, protons, neutrons, and can decay by fission.

What are the types of radiactivity?
There are several types of radioactivity. Some of these types of radioactivity include gamma rays, beta particles, as well as alpha particles.
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.
Uranium is used to make?
uranium is mainly related to radioactivity so i think that it is widely used in these types of works.
Are Betta rays radioactive?
No. Neither an electron nor an anti-electron will decay by themselves. If a positron (anti-electron) encounters an electron, both will get destroyed, but this is not radioactivity. Radioactivity is normally used for atoms, and refers to the fact that they decay spontaneously.Beta rays, however, are the result of certain types of radioactive decay.No. Neither an electron nor an anti-electron will decay by themselves.

How does radioactivity affect the water cycle?
Radioactivity affect the water molecules. Radioactivity makes it harmful
How does the type of radioactivity affect the length of the half life?
Different types of radioactivity have different amounts of energy and this directly impacts the half life. More energy will decrease the half life because it quickly gives off the unstable energy.
Advantages of nuclear radioactivity?
What other sort of radioactivity is there?
What are examples of radioactivity?
For example natural and artificial radioactivity.
Radioactivity can be what?
Radioactivity can be induced in ordinary matter by artificial transmutation.
Do you messure radioactivity in literes?
You cannot measure radioactivity in litres
How much radioactivity is in Japan?
Radioactivity in Japan is about 15,000 terabecquerels.
What is the power formula for radioactivity?
Human + A lot of radioactivity = Dead
