There are some elements on the earth that keep disintegrating automatically and emit invisible rays, such elements are called radioactive elements. It is a spontaneous and random phenomenon whereby unstable nuclei of certain elements radiate gamma rays, beta particles, and alpha particles in order to become stable. This action is called radioactivity.
