When modeling radioactive decay, you must ensure that an unstable **nuclide** is able to become a stable **nuclide**.
In the context of radioactive decay, a nuclide (which refers to a specific variant of an element defined by its number of protons and neutrons) undergoes transformations, typically resulting in the emission of radiation and the conversion into a different nuclide, often a more stable one, through processes such as alpha decay, beta decay, or gamma decay. Ultimately, this process leads to stable nuclides, which do not undergo further radioactive decay.
