Which means you have a choice, but you didn't put the choices into the computer, so I can't answer this without the extra information.
When a radioactive isotope disintegrates, it releases radiation in the form of alpha or beta particles, gamma rays, or neutrons. This process changes the atom's nucleus, leading to the formation of a different element or isotope. The disintegration continues until a stable atom is reached.
radioactive
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.
An unstable isotope with extra energy in the nucleus is a radioactive isotope. This extra energy causes the nucleus to undergo radioactive decay, emitting particles or gamma rays in order to become more stable. This process can involve the release of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma radiation.
No, potassium-40 is a radioactive isotope of potassium. It undergoes radioactive decay with a half-life of about 1.25 billion years, emitting beta particles in the process.
The characteristic time for the decay of a radioactive isotope is known as its half-life. This is the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample to decay.

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.

This depends for each isotope.

When a radioactive element decays, it releases energy in the form of radiation (such as alpha or beta particles). The decay changes the element into a different element or isotope, which may also be radioactive. This process continues until a stable non-radioactive element is formed.
No, potassium-40 is a radioactive isotope of potassium. It undergoes radioactive decay with a half-life of about 1.25 billion years, emitting beta particles in the process.
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.
A radioactive reaction is a process in which unstable atomic nuclei decay into more stable forms by emitting particles such as alpha or beta particles, along with gamma rays. This decay releases energy and transforms the original element into a different element or isotope. These reactions are used in various fields such as medicine, industry, and energy production.
