radioactive
Atomic nuclei that are unstable and decaying are said to be radioactive. Radioactive decay involves alpha, beta and gamma particle emissions.
they come from the nuclei of an unstable atom.
Elements with atomic numbers less than 82 do not emit radiation because they do not have unstable nuclei. Radioactive decay occurs when an atom has an unstable nucleus, which may be due to an imbalance of protons and neutrons. Elements with atomic numbers greater than 82 are more likely to have unstable isotopes that can undergo radioactive decay.
Unstable nuclei are most commonly found in radioactive materials, such as uranium and radium. These materials emit radiation as the unstable nuclei undergo radioactive decay in an attempt to become more stable.
When an atomic nucleus fissions, it splits into smaller atomic nuclei. These smaller atomic nuclei are referred to as "fission fragments." The unstable nucleus of a radioactive element can fission (split) into smaller nuclei, i.e. those of lighter elements. This can also release other atomic particles, as well as energy. In nuclear power and atomic weapons, the fission process is initiated to release the nuclear energy. Natural fission is a much rarer occurrence than radioactive decay.

Nuclear decay is the process in which atomic nuclei of unstable isotopes release fast-moving particles, such as alpha or beta particles, along with energy in the form of gamma radiation. This process is also known as radioactive decay and results in the transformation of the unstable isotope into a more stable one.
No, radioactivity cannot be canceled. Radioactivity is a natural process where unstable atomic nuclei release energy in the form of radiation. While the rate of radioactivity can decrease over time as the unstable nuclei decay, the process itself cannot be canceled.
Stable nuclei have a balanced number of protons and neutrons, while unstable nuclei have an imbalance. Unstable nuclei undergo radioactive decay to become more stable.
Atomic nuclei with more than 84 protons or a large neutron-to-proton ratio is unstable. These nuclei will lose alpha-particles (generally reduces the nucleus by 2 protons and 2 neutrons) or beta-particles (generally turns a neutron to a proton) until it becomes stable. This can take billions of years or a fraction of a second, depending on the isotope.
Stable nuclei have a balanced number of protons and neutrons, while unstable nuclei have an imbalance, leading to radioactive decay.
There are many unstable nuclei that exist in nature, but the exact number is difficult to determine due to the sheer variety of radioactive isotopes that can occur. These unstable nuclei can undergo radioactive decay to become more stable over time.
