🗑
Radioactivity   ..is the spontaneous breaking up of certain unstable nuclei with the emission of one or more types of radiation.  
🗑
Radioactive decay.   ..is the process of changing from one radioactive element to another.  
🗑
Nuclear reaction   ..is the emission of radioactive radiation.  
🗑
Transmutation   ..in the emission of alpha and beta radiation from unstable nuclei we've seen how one element may be changed from one element into another.  
🗑
Half-life   The half life of an element is the time taken for half the nuclei in any given sample to decay.
