Which outcome results when an unstable isotope undergoes alpha decay?

💡 Explanation

Alpha decay from unstable isotopes leads to nuclear binding energy redistribution because heavy nuclei become more stable by lowering the repulsive forces via quantum tunneling of the alpha particle; therefore lower energy follows rather than fission or neutron absorption under normal decay.
