Radioactivity definition

Radioactivity means the transformation of unstable atomic nuclei by the emission of radiation.
Radioactivity means the disintegration of unstable atomic nuclei by the emission of radiation.
Radioactivity means the spontaneous, uncontrollable disintegration of the nucleus of an atom with the emission of particles and rays.
