Answer:

In nuclear physics, a decay product (also known as a daughter product, daughter isotope, radio-daughter, or daughter nuclide) is the remaining nuclide left over from radioactive decay. Radioactive decay often proceeds via a sequence of steps (decay chain). For example, 238U decays to 234Th which decays to 234mPa which decays, and so on, to 206Pb (which is stable):

These might also be referred to as the daughter products of 238U.[1]

Decay products are important in understanding radioactive decay and the management of radioactive waste.

Answer:

The products which are obtained during the radioactive decay are mainly α,β and γ.

Explanation:

What is Radioactive decay?

Radioactive Decay is the process of ionizing radiation through which the energy is released.

It poses a huge risk to the health and life of the people surrounding it. The even cause DNA alteration and make the generations physically challenged or disabled.

There are 3 products which comes out as a result of Radioactive decay:-

1. α or Alpha decay- It involves the release of Helium ion from the nucleus of the involved atom. It is not causing much dangerous compared to other two.

2. β or Beta decay - It involves transformation of neutron in the nucleus into proton and electron. It emits slightly more harmful radiation than Alpha decay.

3. γ or Gamma decay - During the Gamma decay, the Gamma rays are emitted. It is the most dangerous decay as compared with the above two products.
