Yes, it is. The amount of energy it takes to bind atoms together is immense, which is why you get so much out. There are also relativistic components to talk about but I'm sure you'll just tell me that's fake too.

It has to do with the configuration of their electrons. Electrons "orbit" the nucleus in discreet energy levels, and a certain number of electrons can "fit" on each level. The number of electrons in the outer levels vs the amount of available spaces dictates the element's chemical properties. Noble gasses have all their outer orbits filled; they're very stable because it takes a lot of energy for these electrons to react with other electrons. If you take an element like hydrogen, for example, it has one electron, but it wants too. So, it reacts with another hydrogen atom to share an electron, meaning they both have 2 electrons between them. This is Hydrogen Gas, H2. Oxygen wants 2 electrons, so it can bond with 2 Hydrogen atoms, making water, or H2O. Carbon wants to make four connections, which is why it makes such a good "skeleton" for large molecules.

So what does the cloud chamber show if not radiation? If radiation exists, what are the implications of that?
