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?
The three main types of radioactivity are alpha radiation, beta radiation, and gamma radiation. Alpha radiation consists of helium nuclei, while beta radiation consists of electrons or positrons. Gamma radiation is a high-energy form of electromagnetic radiation.
What are the differences between natural radioactivity nd artificial radioactivity?
Natural Radioactivity arises from radioactive components contained in nature. Artificial Radioactivity will come through element produced with in nuclear reactors as well as accelerators. Natural Radioactivity is a spontaneous process of disintegration. Artificial Radioactivity is carried in synthetically produced radioactive elements used in nuclear reactors.
What are the 3 types of radioactivity discovered by Rutherford?
The three types of radioactivity discovered by Rutherford are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. Alpha particles are positively charged, beta particles are electrons or positrons, and gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic radiation.
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?
Are igneous rocks radioactive?
Igneous rocks can contain radioactive minerals, but they are not inherently radioactive themselves. The level of radioactivity in an igneous rock depends on its mineral composition, particularly the presence of uranium, thorium, or potassium isotopes. Some igneous rocks, like granite, may have higher levels of natural radioactivity due to these minerals, while others may have little to no radioactivity. Overall, the degree of radioactivity varies widely among different igneous rock types.
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
When did Marie curie build radioactivity?
no but she built the knowleage of radioactivity.
