Out of the following, which is not emitted by radioactive substance?
A
Electrons
B
Neutrons
C
Alpha particles
D
Electromagnetic radiations
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Protons are not emitted by radioactive decay.

Detailed explanation-2: -In general, protons are not emitted by a radioactive substance.

Detailed explanation-3: -∙Protons are not emitted in any of the radioactive decay processes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Radioactive nuclei are nuclei that are unstable and that decay by emitting energetic particles such as photons, electrons, neutrinos, protons, neutrons, or alphas (two protons and two neutrons bound together).

Detailed explanation-5: -During this decay there is emission of gamma particles from the nucleus. After observing the options, we can say that protons are neither emitted by the decay of radioactive substances. Hence, the correct answer is option (A) i.e. a radioactive substance does not emit protons.
