Question

Describe various types of radioactive decay.

Answer 1

There are three types of radio decay:
1.alpha decay
2.beta decay
3.gamma decay

Alpha decay:when during a chemical reaction,an helium atom is released in the form of radiation,it is called alpha decay, The reactant element loose 4u mass

Beta decay:The chemical reaction where a positron is released is called a beta decay,during which the reactant atom looses 1 electron .

Gamma decay: In this chemical reaction,there is no loss of charge or mass from the reactant,here the energy is obtained from the difference in the nuclei mass.by using the formula E=mc², where m is the mass defference in the nuclei

Answer 2

There are three types of radio decay:
1.alpha decay
2.beta decay
3.gamma decay
