Question

How and why do nuclear reactions occur and what are their effects on living organisms?

Answer 1

Answer:

For the nucleus of an atom to be stable, it needs a certain proportion of neutrons and protons. Otherwise, it undergoes a series of disintegrations to reach a stable state by removing excess particles. In doing so, it emits radiation that, in high doses, attacks unprotected living tissue.
