In general, elements of very high atomic weight, such as uranium and plutonium, are so unstable that their cores are so heavy that they collapse. When these elements decay and change into other elements, they emit some particles or electromagnetic waves, which are called radiation, and the elements that give out radiation are called radioactive elements.

When these elements decay, there are three types of radiation: alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays. In general, however, radiation is often referred to as a combination of these three as well as other particles or electromagnetic waves, such as X-rays and neutron beams. Radiation is divided into particle rays, particles that move like alpha rays, beta rays, and neutron rays, and electromagnetic waves, such as X-rays and gamma rays.
