That is gamma decay, which is caused by a change in energy levels within a nucleus, but which does not result in any change to the number of protons or neutrons. A nucleus of one particular isotope can have different energy levels, these are called isomers of that isotope. The gamma radiation is electromagnetic, similar to x-rays but a higher frequency and hence higher energy.
Exothermic reactions
The total kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance is called thermal energy. Thermal energy is measured in joules.
The release of energy by particles of matter that have absorbed energy is called emission. This occurs when the particles return to a lower energy state, releasing energy in the form of light or heat.
When particles in a gas lose enough thermal energy to form a liquid, they undergo a phase change called condensation. During condensation, the particles come closer together and transition from a disordered arrangement in the gas phase to a more ordered arrangement in the liquid phase. This process releases energy in the form of heat.

Nuclear fusion releases energy in the form of high-energy light particles called photons, as well as fast-moving charged particles such as protons and electrons. This energy is produced by the conversion of mass into energy according to Einstein's equation, E=mc^2.

When the Sun releases tiny particles due to energy production, it is called solar wind. These particles consist of protons and electrons that are released into space from the Sun's outer atmosphere, known as the corona. The solar wind can affect Earth's magnetic field and create phenomena like auroras.

The sun releases energy in the form of light and heat through a process called nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms combine to form helium. The sun also releases particles such as protons and electrons, collectively known as solar wind.
In microscopic particles it's called internal energy. In macroscopic particles it's called thermodynamic energy.

A liquid becomes a solid when heat is removed. The energy content decreases, and the speed of the particles decrease.
A plant releases energy during photosynthesis, in the form of glucose(sugar) (a monosaccharide)
