Radioactive Element

An unstable element that emits particles and energy as it changes into another element
Real World Example
Imagine you're trying to clean out a cluttered closet, where every item you remove makes it easier to find the things you actually need. This process is similar to a radioactive element that is unstable and gradually emits particles and energy, transforming into another, more stable element. Just like clearing out your closet bit by bit results in a more organized space, a radioactive element emits pieces of itself until it stabilizes, shedding its "clutter" in the form of particles and energy.
