In radioactive decay, primarily radiation and particles are released. Radiation can be in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, or neutrons. These emissions are a result of unstable atomic nuclei undergoing radioactive decay to become more stable.
Particles or electromagnetic waves are primarily released in radioactive decay.
A = - dN/dt
A = total activity
N = number of particles
t = time
alpha particles
they decay over time
If it is related to Nuclear studies, then the answer would be fusion.
That statement is not entirely accurate. Radioactive decay can involve the emission of alpha particles, beta particles (electrons or positrons), and gamma rays. Electrons can be involved in certain types of radioactive decay processes.
Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of a nucleus into smaller parts.
