Reply to comment by mfb- in Radon is a monatomic gas, but its decay products are solids. After a decay, what happens to the individual atoms of the daughter elements? Do they stay suspended in the atmosphere or slowly rain out? by foodtower

I want to add that the decay products are almost always charged particles and thus interact with stuff right away, even if it just be static attraction.
