Electromagnetic, as the nucleus has no charge
When radium-226 decays to form radon-222, the radium nucleus emits a alpha particle.

An isotope can be produced if a nucleus gains a neutron or if one of the protons in its nucleus decays into a neutron and positron.
No. A stable nucleus can form. If the new nucleus is radioactive, then it will contiue to decay until a non radioactive nucleus is attained.
An atom whose nucleus decays over time is called radioactive. Some examples of radioactive substances are uranium, plutonium, and einsteinium.
When Radium-226 decays to form Radon-222, the Radium nucleus emits an alpha particle. The atomic number goes down by 2, and the mass number goes down by 4, matching the atomic number and mass number of the alpha particle.
An isotope can be produced if a nucleus gains a neutron or if one of the protons in its nucleus decays into a neutron and positron.
88Ra, Radium
An unstable nucleus which decays emitting a neutron.
It is negative beta particle emitted by a uranium nucleus and converting it to neptunium nucleus.
When iron-53 decays, it transforms into manganese-53 through beta decay, where a neutron in the nucleus is converted into a proton, releasing a beta particle (electron) in the process.
An Alpha particle, and associated gamma radiation from the excited nucleus.
