Radioactive decay do not involve electrons?

That statement is not entirely accurate. Radioactive decay can involve the emission of alpha particles, beta particles (electrons or positrons), and gamma rays. Electrons can be involved in certain types of radioactive decay processes.

What are two types of radioactive decay?

The two types of radioactive decay are alpha and beta. Generally, in alpha decay the nucleus will lose 2 protons and 2 neutrons (it's a helium nucleus). Beta decay involves a neutron losing an electron and becoming a proton, so the atomic mass remains the same, but the atomic number increases by one since there is another proton.

What is the name for the emission of rays and particles by a radioactive material?

The name for the emissions of rays and particles by a radioactive material are called radioactive decay. There are many different types of radioactive decay that emit different rays and particles.

Radioactive decay can be affected by what?

Most types of radioactive decay cannot be affected by anything. However, radioactive decay involving electron capture will be affected by the removal of electrons from around the nucleus. In the absence of orbital electrons, it cannot occur at all.

What is radioactivity types of radioactivity?

Radioactive decay has nothing to do with chemistry and therefore may not be a chemical reaction. But since matter changes its properties (they are even irreversibly) it is considered to be reaction of one (elemental) reactant. Most decay reactions are kinetically of zero order.Different types of radioactive decay include decay by alpha emission (emits an alpha particle, 2 protons and 2 neutrons), Beta - emission, and Beta + emission (positron emission or electron capture).Some radioactive materials also output gamma rays, protons, neutrons, and can decay by fission.
