Radioactivity comes from unstable atomic nuclei that transform spontaneously and emit radiation. It is a nuclear phenomenon, distinct from ordinary chemical reactions involving electrons.
The same phenomenon helps us understand nuclei, date materials and build important medical techniques.

Choose a concrete case linked to Radioactivity. Write down the known information, what you are trying to find, and the units. Then state the rule, model or trend you will use. If a calculation is involved, keep the units visible at every line; if it is conceptual, state what changes and what remains fixed.
A strong answer contains four things: the starting situation, the variable that changes, the direction or numerical result, and one check. The check can be a unit, an order of magnitude, a limiting case or a comparison with a familiar example.
