Radioactive decay may or may not involve electrons. There are different types of radioactive decay.
Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are processes that involve nuclear reactions but are not examples of radioactive decay. Chemical reactions, such as burning wood, do not involve nuclear processes and are also not examples of radioactive decay.
No, valence electrons are found in all elements, not just in radioactive isotopes. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom and they play a crucial role in determining the chemical properties of an element.
If it is related to Nuclear studies, then the answer would be fusion.
Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of a nucleus into smaller parts.
Coin-tossing can simulate radioactive decay by assigning a probability of heads or tails to represent decay or stability of a radioactive nucleus. Consistent with the decay probability of a radioactive substance, you can randomly flip the coin to determine decay events over time. Over multiple throws, you can track the number of heads to emulate the decay rate of a radioactive substance.
radioactive decay does not involve electrons as its composed of alpha, beta and gamma rays
It does not usually involve the atom's electrons, except for a type of decay called K capture. But the beta particles ejected in what is called beta decay are either electrons or positrons.
Yes. That's what "beta radiation" is. (occurs when a neutron becomes a proton).

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.

Beta particle electrons (as opposed to Beta particle positrons which have + charge)
Actually there is a mode of radioactive decay which involves an atomic electron. It is called electron capture and results in the atomic number Z decreasing by 1 and the mass number A remaining the same. This happens in nuclei which have a deficiency of neutrons. No ion is formed, but a K or L x-ray can be emitted in addition to a neutrino and possible gamma rays.
