Radioactivity is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus emits particles or electromagnetic radiation, such as alpha or beta particles, gamma rays, or positrons. This emission helps the nucleus become more stable, transforming it into a different element. Radioactive materials can be found in nature or created artificially through nuclear reactions.
