How much mass is lost through radioactive decay if 1.8 and times 1015 J are released?
0.02 kg
What does the process in which an unstable atomic nucleus emits charged particles or energy or both?
In the process of radioactive decay an unstable atomic nucleus emits energy to get closer to a state of stability. Whether this energy is emitted in particles, electromagnetic radiation, or both depends on which decay paths are available to the nucleus and which decay paths are forbidden to the nucleus by Quantum Mechanics.Some of the decay processes are:alpha - energy is released in the momentum of the ejected alpha particle (helium nucleus)beta - energy is released in the momentum of the ejected electron or positron (and the hard to detect neutrino)gamma - energy is released as electromagnetic radiation (gamma ray photon)spontaneous fission - energy is released in the momentum of the ejected fission product atoms and the ejected neutrons
When an atom undergoes radioactive decay does it become a different element?
That depends on the type of decay, alpha and beta decay change the atom into a different element but gamma decay does not.

What type of decay is involved when polonium -214 decays into lead -210?
It is alpha decay. In the process, an alpha particle(He2+) is released. So, it is called alpha decay.
