A radioactive decay molecule gradually loses mass as a result of its radioactive decay. Every molecule's rate of decay varies, and it was expressed in terms of half-lives. A radioactive molecule will lose 50%, or half, of its weight, for every half-life.
The amount of time needed for a substance to disintegrate in half is known as the half-life of radioactive decay. The rate of radioactive decay is higher and there is more radioactivity the shorter the half-life of radioactive decay.
Each element's distinguishing trait is its half-life. Ionizing radiation is released as a result of radioactive decay. Ionizing radiation offers a health concern by destroying tissue and the DNA in genes because it can damage the atoms in living things. Alpha particles may be present in the ionizing radiation that is released.
