From Wikibooks, open books for an open world
A radioactive substance is one which has an unstable nucleus and gives out radiation to try to become stable. This is also known as radioactive decay. Radioactivity is a completely random process. This means that you cannot predict when an unstable nucleus will decay. It's completely unaffected by physical conditions such as temperature.
