a reaction where a radioactive nucleus goes
Describe Alpha particle through a fission reaction to create a more stable
emission nucleus that has a lower atomic and mass number
and emits an alpha particle which is a 4He2 nucleus.
a reaction where a radioactive nucleus goes
through a fission reaction to create a more stable
nucleus with a higher atomic number and the same
Describe Beta particle
mass number and emits a beta particle which is an
emission
electron. Occurs when a neutron converts into a
proton and an electron which is expelled to make
the beta particle.
a reaction where a radioactive nucleus goes
through a fission reaction to create a more stable
Describe Gamma photon
nucleus with the same atomic and mass number and
emission
it emits high energy electromagnetic radiation,
which is a gamma photon.
a reaction where a radioactive nucleus goes
through a fission reaction to create a more stable
nucleus with a lower atomic number and the same
Describe Positron
mass number and emits a beta particle, which is an
emission
electron. Occurs when a proton converts into a
neutron and a positron which is expelled out of the
nucleus.
