No. A stable nucleus can form. If the new nucleus is radioactive, then it will contiue to decay until a non radioactive nucleus is attained.

Does the identity of an atom change during radioactive decay.why or why not?

Well, when an atom undergoes radioactive decay, it can change into a different element. This happens because the nucleus of the atom becomes unstable and releases particles or energy to become more stable. So, while the identity of the atom may change, it's all just a part of nature's way of finding balance and harmony in the universe.


Is spontaneous fusion a form of radioactive decay?

No, the fusion process is the opposite of the radioactive decay process. Fusion is the merging together of nuclei to form a heavier nucleus whereas fission or radioactive decay is the splitting apart of a heavy nucleus into lighter daughter nuclei.
