Question

Gizmo Warm-up Like an unpopped kernel in the microwave, a radioactive atom can change at any time. Radioactive atoms change by emitting radiation in the form of tiny particles and/or energy. This process, called decay, causes the radioactive atom to change into a stable daughter atom. The Half-life Gizmo allows you to observe and measure the decay of a radioactive substance.

Answer 1

Fission reaction occurs.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a radioactive atom undergoes a nuclear decay event, spontaneous fission reaction occurs, the decaying nucleus undergoes a transformation in the change in the number of protons in the nucleus. The fission process produces gamma photons, and releases a very large amount of energy. After the radiation stops, a stable element is obtained whereas the energy is released in the surrounding.
