    Atoms are composed mainly of empty space with a very small nucleus at the center that repels alpha particles. The nucleus can become unstable and undergo radioactive decay, emitting particles such as alpha, beta, or gamma rays in a random, spontaneous process. Different atoms are identified by their atomic number and mass number.
