1) Radioactive decay is the spontaneous decomposition of the unstable nucleus of an atom.

2) The emission of a particle or a photon.

For example, alpha decay is radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus).

3) The result is usually more stable element with smaller atomic number.

For example, in alpha decay atom transforms into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four.

For example nuclear fission is radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts and huge amount of energy is released.

Answer:

Here's what they put

Explanation:

Sample Response: Radioactive decay is the process in which the nucleus of an unstable isotope spontaneously changes, releasing particles and energy. An unstable isotope will continue to decay until it reaches the stable form of either a different isotope of the same element that is stable or a different element that is stable.

A gas has a volume of 5.0 L at a pressure of 50 KPa. What happens to the volume when the pressure is increased to 125?
Alexeev081 [22]
The volume becomes two. You have to use the equation P1 x V1 = P2 x V2 
P is pressure and V is volume.
P1 = 50     P2 = 125
V1 = 5       V2 = v (we don't know what it is)
Then set up the equation:
50 times 5 = 125 times v
250 = 125v
the divide both sides by 125 and isolate v
2 = v
Therefore the volume is decreased to 2.
Also, Boyle's Law explains this too: Volume and pressure are inversely related, This means that when one goes up the other goes down (ie when pressure increases volume decreases and vice versa). Becuase the pressure went up from 50 KPa tp 125 KPa the volume had to decrease.
