\nThe purpose of this article on radioactivity is to explain and describe the following subjects:
\n.<\/span>
\n\u2022\tWhat radioactivity is
\n\u2022\tHow radioactive decay processes work
\n\u2022\tWhen radioactive decay is initiated
\n.<\/span>
\nRadioactivity is like the atomic nucleus speaking.<\/p>\n

This article is really about the neutrino. \u00a0How can such a small particle with no electric charge and very little mass (if any) control the destiny of the world and all living things?<\/div>\n
Listen, the radioactive nuclear atom will tell you. \u00a0This article will explain how the neutrino works and what it does. \u00a0What the neutrino really is, has not yet been discovered.<\/div>\n
There are three types of neutrinos: the electron neutrino, the muon neutrino, and the tau neutrino. \u00a0They will be mentioned in examples below.<\/div>\n
There are three major classes of radioactivity processes:
\n.<\/span>
\n\u2022\tRadioactive beta decay<\/div>\n
\u2022\tAlpha particle decay<\/div>\n
\u2022\tDecay of proton particles
\n.<\/span>
\nThese radioactivity processes will be described below and include:
\n.<\/span>
\n\u2022\tRadioactivity decay of the free neutron.<\/div>\n
\u2022\tRadioactivity decay of the proton (if any)<\/div>\n
\u2022\tPion particle decay<\/div>\n
\u2022\tMuon particle decay
\n.<\/span>
\nBy these radioactivity \u00a0processes, nuclear structure is unfolding.<\/div>\n
H. Becquerel discovered the ionizing effects of radioactivity radiation in 1899, and Rutherford showed that alpha particles were emitted as well as beta electrons.
