Concept introduction:

Emission is defined as the release of energy or gas into the environment. During emission, the transfer of energy from one radioactive substance to the other takes place. The electron gets excited from ground state to the excited state when small amount of energy is transferred and emits electromagnetic energy when it comes back.

The ionizing radiation takes place when large amount of energy is transferred to remove the electron.
