What happens during nuclear decay? During nuclear decay, atoms of one element can change into atoms of a different element altogether. When Henri Becquerel placed uranium salts on a photographic plate and then developed the plate, he found a foggy image. The image was caused by rays that had not been observed before. For his discovery
