That's what an atom emits when it decays.
No, radioactive elements can also produce gamma rays along with alpha and beta particles. Gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted from the nucleus during nuclear decay.
Alpha particles are emitted by heavy elements like uranium and radium. Beta particles are emitted by elements like strontium and tritium. Gamma rays are emitted by radioactive decay of unstable nuclei across all elements.
alpha, beta, gamma.
Radioactive elements undergo spontaneous decay, emitting radiation in the form of alpha, beta, or gamma particles.

alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
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.
The three types of radiation given off by radioactive substances are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. Alpha particles are the least penetrating, beta particles are more penetrating than alpha particles, and gamma rays are the most penetrating and dangerous type of radiation.
Radioactive isotopes are just elements which have a tendency to undergo alpha, beta or gamma radiation to bring themselves to a stable electron configuration.
Elements that emit atomic particles are typically referred to as radioactive elements. These elements undergo radioactive decay and emit particles such as alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays as they try to become more stable.
