Q. What is artificial radioactivity?

The phenomenon by which still light elements are made radioactive by artificial or induced methods is called artificial radioactivity.

α-decay When a radioactive nucleus disintegrates by release an α-particle the atomic number decreases by two and mass number decreases by four.

Instance Radium (88Ra226) is converted to radon (86Rn222) due to α-decay

 88Ra22686Rn222 + 2He4
