Radioactive decay is the most dangerous?

Answer 1

There are three types: Beta decay, alpha decay, and gamma decay/gamma rays. They are all dangerous if exposed to a high amount of radioactive matter. When the radioactive isotope undergoes beta, alpha, and gamma decay, there is an emission of a beta particle, alpha particle, and gamma ray (respectively). In highly radioactive matter, there are often trillions of radioactive isotopes that emit these particles and/or rays - and they are very high-energy once emitted. However, they are only dangerous when exposed to a high amount.

Answer 2

depends, gamma could pierce trough your entire body, but alpha and beta types could cause radiation sickness, cancer, and other bad things. the problem in beta and alpha is that it is stopped easily. Beta radiation is absorbed by a layer of clothing while alpha by a sheet of paper.

Answer 3

the gamma radioactive decay is the least dangerous

Answer 4

yes, it is because of the spontaneous disintegration of the radionuclide in which it is emitting a large amount of radiation that will affect the DNA cells in the human body.

Answer 5

Radioactive decay is associated with the release of many dangerous nuclear radiations: alpha, beta, gamma, etc.
