1. Radioactivity is the process by which certain unstable atomic nuclei spontaneously decay and emit radiation. This involves the emission of particles or electromagnetic waves during nuclear transformations.
2. There are three main types of radiation emitted in radioactivity - alpha, beta and gamma rays. Alpha particles have low penetration power whereas gamma rays have the highest penetration power.
3. Radioactive decay can be used in various applications like cancer treatment, food preservation and dating very old objects. Precise control and knowledge of radioactive decay allows for safe use of radioactivity in nuclear technology and medicine.
