Radioactive decay is the spontaneous emission of radiation from an unstable atomic nucleus. Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation of high energy and short wavelength emitted by radioactive decay. Different isotopes of the same element have the same chemical properties. A nuclear reaction can produce different elements. In the radioactive decay series provided, Radium-232 decays to Radon-228, Radon-228 decays to Actinium-228, Actinium-228 decays to Thorium-228. Uranium-235 decays to Thorium-231, Thorium-231 decays to Protactinium-231, Protactinium-231 decays to Uranium-231.
