Question

multiple choice question
what does the breakdown of unstable atomic isotopes generate?
oxidation
x - rays
ionizing radiation
radioactivity

Explanation:

Unstable atomic isotopes undergo radioactive decay, which emits ionizing radiation such as alpha - particles, beta - particles, and gamma - rays. Oxidation is a chemical process involving electron transfer. X - rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation often produced by accelerating electrons. Radioactivity is the property of unstable isotopes, while ionizing radiation is what is generated during their breakdown.

Answer:

C. Ionizing radiation
