Some isotopes are radioactive, some are not.
When an isotope is unstable, it is said to be radioactive.
The process where an unstable parent isotope becomes a stable daughter isotope is called radioactive decay. During this process, the parent isotope undergoes a series of transformations, such as alpha or beta decay, emitting particles or energy until it reaches a stable state as a daughter isotope.
Another isotope is produced.
The radioactive isotope is disintegrated in time and emit radiations.
The process in which one isotope changes to another isotope is called radioactive decay. During this process, the unstable nucleus of an isotope emits radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays to transform into a more stable isotope. The rate at which radioactive decay occurs is measured by the isotope's half-life.
The stable isotope produced by radioactive decay is called a daughter isotope.
The stable isotope formed by the breakdown of a radioactive isotope is called a daughter isotope. This process is known as radioactive decay, where a radioactive isotope transforms into a stable daughter isotope through the emission of particles or energy.

The term for the element that a radioactive isotope decays into is called the "daughter product". During radioactive decay, the original isotope transforms into a different element or isotope through a series of decay reactions.
The radioactive isotope is disintegrated in time and emit radiations.
The radioactive isotope is disintegrated in time and emit radiations.
The time it takes for 50 percent of the nuclei in a radioactive sample to decay to its stable isotope is called the half-life of the radioactive element. It is a characteristic property of each radioactive isotope and can vary greatly among different elements.
This is called the "half-life" of the isotope.
