Radioactivity
⦿ Spontaneous emission of rays or particles from an element
⦿ Nuclear reaction● Atoms become more stable● Radioisotopes become more stable when
nucleus changes and energy is emitted● Not affected by changes in temperature,
pressure, or catalysts● Happen at a given rate which cannot be
changed
