The number of protons or atomic number is reduced to 2 by c. Alpha decay.
Radioactive decay:
- The emission of energy in the form of ionizing radiation is referred to as radioactive decay.
- Ionizing radiation can impact the atoms in living things, posing a health concern by causing tissue and DNA in genes to be damaged.
- The released ionizing radiation may contain alpha particles.
- The process through which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation is known as radioactive decay.
- A radioactive substance is one that contains unstable nuclei.
- Alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay are three of the most prevalent forms of decay, all of which entail the emission of one or more particles.
Alpha decay:
- Alpha decay is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus produces an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and therefore transforms or decays into a different atomic nucleus with a reduced mass number and atomic number.
- Alpha decay is a nuclear decay process that occurs when an unstable nucleus emits a particle made up of two protons and two neutrons.
- This expelled particle, known as an alpha particle, is nothing more than a helium nucleus.
Beta decay:
- A radioactive decay in which a beta ray is released from an atomic nucleus is known as beta decay.
- The proton in the nucleus is turned into a neutron during beta decay, and vice versa.
- Beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in physics in which a beta particle is produced from an atomic nucleus, converting the original nuclide to an isobar of that nuclide.
Gamma decay:
- Gamma decay is a kind of radioactivity in which some unstable atomic nuclei spontaneously dissipate excess energy via an electromagnetic mechanism.
- Gamma rays (photons, or packets of electromagnetic energy with extremely short wavelengths) are radiated in the most frequent form of gamma decay, known as gamma emission.
