Answer:
Radioactivity is different from chemical change
The fundamental point to stress here is that external conditions, such as temperature and pressure, have no effect on the activity of a radioactive source. The spontaneous emission of radiation involves changes within the nucleus of each atom of the source

Explanation:
- No temperature can affect rates of radioactive decays unless the temperature is high enough to cause the nuclei to strongly interact. That's typically well over one million K. At ordinary temperatures electron clouds are interacting but nuclei are not.
