Alpha radiation is the easiest to shield, only requiring a few inches of air or a sheet of paper. This is because alpha has a mass of four amu and a charge of +2, making it interact with nearly everything.
Alpha particles are easily stopped because they are large (relatively)

The reason for all types of radioactive decay is the instability of the nucleus, some unstable nuclei become stable by alpha emission and some by beta emission.
No, radioactive decay is not a chemical reaction. Radioactive decay is a type of change in the nucleus of an atom that results from instability in that nucleus. And that is a nuclear reaction rather than a chemical one.
no,palladium doesn't release radio active energy.It can absorb hydrogen .
PROTON has a positive charge. In certain elements there is proton emission possible. Refer to radioactive elements in detail to get exact answer to your question.

You think probable to radioactive decay.
the soil can get radioactive poisining. The plants can then use that soil and absorb the radioactive chemical. It the is in our food and that is that
The radioactive decay of americium 241 is by alpha disintegration; the disintegration of radioactive krypton isotopes is by beta particles emission.
