Why are larger atoms more unstable? - Protons repel each other more and more as the atom gets larger. Three types of nuclear radiation - alpha radiation, beta radiation gamma radiation alpha decay equation - 4/2 He subtract 4 from mass number subtract 2 from atomic number beta decay equation - 0/-1 e mass number *remains the same* add 1 to the atomic number gamma decay symbol - 0/0 y both mass and atomic number *remain the same* nuclear fusion - a nuclear reaction in which atomic nu...

If an unshielded sample of radioactive material emits alpha particles, what effect will it have on a person sitting in the next room? (Assume the wall between rooms is composed of concrete.) - None, because the wall will block the radiation.
