The Ionization radiation that is emitted can include a Particle, ß particle or gamma rays. Radioactive decay occurs in unbalance atoms called radionuclides. Elements in the periodic table can take on several forms. Some of these forms are stable; other forms are unstable. Typically, the most stable form of an element is the most common in nature. However, all elements have an unstable form. Unstable forms emit ionizing radiation and are radioactive. There are some elements with no stable form that are always radioactive, such as uranium. Elements that emit ionizing radiation are called radionuclides. When it decays, a radionuclide transforms into a different atom - a decay product. The atoms keep transforming to new decay products until they reach a stable state and are no longer radioactive. The majority of radionuclides only decay once before becoming stable. Those that decay in more than one step are called series radionuclides. The series of decay products created to reach this balance is called the decay chain. Each series has its own unique decay chain. The decay products within the chain are always radioactive. Only the final, stable atom in the chain is not radioactive. Some decay products are a different chemical element. Example — Uranium-238, Thorium — 232. Academic Day ends with- National song' Vande Mataram'
