    Radioactive decay is the means by which unstable nuclei move towards stability by emitting energy and subatomic particles. The types are:

    Alpha particle decay:

    Alpha particles, which are identical to helium nuclei, are released. The atomic mass of the substance decreases by 4 units and the atomic number decreases by 2.

    Beta particle decay:

    These particles are similar to mass as an electron, and during this decay, the atomic mass remains the same but atomic number increases by 1.

    Gamma ray decay:

    Gamma rays are released, which are high energy electromagnetic waves, by some radioactive nuclei to rid the excess energy they have.
