Simple answer: Alpha particles Beta particles gamma particles And the remainder is an isotope of the previous element. But the more important question you should ask is, "what causes nuclear decay?" And I don't mean "how"...

The weak force is the one that allows a quark to turn into a different flavor of quark, thus allowing a neutron to transform into a proton, or a proton to transform into a neutron. In the case of the neutron, one of its down quarks change t...

Here’s an interesting conundrum involving nuclear decay rates. We think that the decay rates of elements are constant regardless of the ambient conditions (except in a few special cases where beta decay can be influenced by powerful electri...

Wouldn’t you think that the decay rates of isotopes found on Earth would remain fairly constant under controlled conditions? Statistically-speaking one would be able to make a pretty good prediction about a radioactive element’s decay rate...
