Yes, it is. Nuclear decay is a process that an unstable atom goes through to lose energy and move toward a more stable state. (It may take more than one decay.) In nuclear decay, the nucleus undergoes a change by releasing a particle or particles and electromagnetic energy. Links are provided to related Wikipedia articles and related questions.

Do element identities reamin the same or change during nuclear decay?
That depends on the nuclear decay type. For gamma decay, the identity does NOT change, but for alpha and beta, it does.
Which equation represents a spontaneous nuclear decay?
All nuclear decay is spontaneous.
What is the nuclear decay equation for Chromium?
Natural chromium is stable and does not decay/
Is nuclear decay spontaneous or artificial?
Matter can be made to undergo nuclear decay in reactors, but it is a process that occurs spontaneously in nature.
Is the process of changing one element into another through nuclear decay?
transmutation of elements... the thing alchemists sought to do
Do element identities reamin the same or change during nuclear decay?

What can uranium change to?
Uranium may suffer nuclear reactions, nuclear fission, nuclear decay.
How does an isotope of an element change during nuclear decay?
During nuclear decay, radioisotopes of one element can change into one or more isotopes of a different element altogether.
What are the forms of nuclear decay?
what are the forms of nuclear decay
What is mass converted to in nuclear processes?
nuclear decay, such as alpha decay or beta decay.
Can atoms change back from one another?
In a nuclear decay sequence it is possible for heavier atoms to decay to a lighter element.
Is a bomb an example of nuclear energy?
Yes, radioactive decay results in the release of nuclear energy. The radioactive decay of an atom is the result of changes in the atom's nucleus, so energy released will be nuclear energy by definition.
What nuclear decay have similar qualities to helium nucleus?
Alpha nuclear decay
Which equation represents a spontaneous nuclear decay?
All nuclear decay is spontaneous.
Which of the following statements is true Chemical reaction rates vary with the conditions of the change but nuclear rates do not Nuclear decay rates vary with the condition?
"Chemical reaction rates vary with the conditions of the change but nuclear rates do not."
Is radioactive decay and nuclear decay the same?
yep, sure are
Is radium decaying to lead a chemical or physical change?
The radioactive decay of radium is a nuclear change. This differentiates the transformation from a chemical or physical one.
