Radioactivity occurs when some of the binding energy in an atom becomes converted into kinetic energy, resulting in the expulsion of some of the particles of the atom. And generally some energy as well.
Energy is absorbed to break bonds. When bonds are formed, energy is released
When a bond is formed, the same amount of energy is released as what was required to break the bond, so 436 kJ would be released when the bond is formed. This is due to the principle of energy conservation in chemical reactions.
When an atom breaks, it can split into smaller particles, undergo nuclear decay to form a different element, or release energy in the form of radiation. The process of an atom breaking can result in the release of subatomic particles or waves and can have various outcomes depending on the specific type of breakage.
An ions is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons.

No. It requires energy to break bonds, but energy is released when bonds are formed.
To break an HCl molecule into a hydrogen atom and a chlorine atom, the minimum energy required is equal to the bond dissociation energy of the H-Cl bond, which is approximately 432 kilojoules per mole.

The energy needed to break up a nucleus of an atom is called binding energy. It is the energy required to overcome the strong nuclear force that holds the nucleus together. The higher the binding energy per nucleon, the more stable the nucleus is.

Atom is formed of electrons, protons and neutrons.
An ionic bond is formed through the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. This transfer occurs between a metal atom (that tends to lose electrons) and a nonmetal atom (that tends to gain electrons). The resulting attraction between the positively charged metal cation and the negatively charged nonmetal anion forms the ionic bond.
The nuclear force is the strong force that holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus of an atom. Binding energy, on the other hand, is the energy required to break apart the nucleus into its individual protons and neutrons. In essence, the nuclear force creates the binding energy that keeps the nucleus intact.
