Question

State two general characteristics of radioactive decay processes.

Answer 1

Nuclei that have unstable n:p ratios undergo spontaneous radioactive decay.

The most common types of radioactivity are α decay, β decay, γ emission, positron emission, and electron capture

Hope this helps you ☺️☺️✌️✌️❤️

Answer 2

Nuclei that have unstable n:p ratios undergo spontaneous radioactive decay. The most common types ofradioactivity are α decay, β decay, γ emission, positron emission, and electron capture.

The two processes of alpha or beta decay cause the radioisotope to transform into a different atom. Alpha ... The activity of any radioactive sample decreases exponentially with time.
