Concept introduction:

The elements whose nucleus decays spontaneously are known as radioactive elements. The decay is accompanied by the emission of alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. All the elements which have an atomic number greater than 83 are radioactive. The process by which a radioactive nucleus splits to give two nuclei of smaller masses is known as nuclear fission.
