Radioactive decay is the process in which unstable nuclei release radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays.
When a radioisotope emits radiation, it undergoes radioactive decay, transforming into a more stable element. This process releases energy in the form of radiation, which can be in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays.
Uranium is radioactive because its atomic structure is unstable, leading to the emission of particles and energy as it decays. This process is known as radioactive decay, which releases radiation in the form of alpha and beta particles, as well as gamma rays.
There are three main types of rays emitted from radioactive elements: alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. Alpha particles have a positive charge, beta particles have a negative charge, and gamma rays have no charge.

Gamma rays have higher penetrating ability compared to alpha and beta particles. Gamma rays can penetrate through most materials, while alpha particles can be stopped by a sheet of paper and beta particles by a few millimeters of aluminum.
The name for the emissions of rays and particles by a radioactive material are called radioactive decay. There are many different types of radioactive decay that emit different rays and particles.
