alpha particle
No, a chain reaction is not possible in a substance that emits no neutrons when it undergoes fission. Neutrons are required to sustain a chain reaction by triggering the fission of other atoms in the substance. Without neutron production, the fission process cannot continue to release energy and sustain the chain reaction.
An atom that undergoes excitation and de-excitation emits photons of light. When an electron in an atom absorbs energy and moves to a higher energy level (excitation), it eventually returns to its original state (de-excitation) and emits a photon of light corresponding to the energy difference between the two levels.
When bismuth-214 emits a positron, it undergoes beta-plus decay to produce polonium-214. This decay process involves the conversion of a proton into a neutron, releasing a positron and a neutrino.
Yes you can see a reaction. It emits Nitrogen dioxide gas
Coal emits more carbon dioxide pollution than natural gas does.

Uranium undergoes radioactive decay and emits alpha particles which can damage tissue.

Bismuth-214 undergoes beta-minus decay: 214Bi --> 214Po + e^- Potassium-38 undergoes beta-plus emission: 38K --> 38Ar + e^+ Plutonium-242 emits radiation: No specific nuclear equation as "emits radiation" is a general statement.
When ice is heated, it melts into water and eventually evaporates into steam as it reaches its boiling point. When magnesium is heated, it undergoes a chemical reaction with oxygen in the air to form magnesium oxide and emits a bright white light.
Because it emits ionising radiation
When a radioisotope emits radiation, it undergoes radioactive decay, transforming into a more stable element. This process releases energy in the form of radiation, which can be in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays.
When a hydrogen-3 nucleus undergoes radioactive decay, it emits a beta particle (specifically an electron) and an anti-neutrino to transform into helium-3.
When bismuth-214 emits a positron, it undergoes beta-plus decay to produce polonium-214. This decay process involves the conversion of a proton into a neutron, releasing a positron and a neutrino.
