Question

What does radioactive decay do
GPT 3.5
Radioactive decay is the process by which unstable atomic nuclei lose energy by emitting radiation in the form of particles or electromagnetic waves. This process can change the composition of an atom and can result in the transformation of one element into another. Radioactive decay is a spontaneous process that occurs at a constant rate and can be used to determine the age of rocks and other materials through radiometric dating. It is also used in various medical, industrial, and research applications.
