Question

What are the main differences in alpha decay and beta decay?

Answer 1

Hey Friend

here is your answer,

⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫

Alpha decay :--

Alpha decay is part of radioactive decay. in this process alpha particle (helium-4 Neuclious) emits from radioactive ray.

Beta decay :-

Beta decay is positive proton's decay into a Newtron and be daughter nucleus.Same mass but opposite charge.

So main difference is:-

Alpha decay forms new element with two fewer protons and two fewer neutrons.Beta decay forms new element with one more proton and one fewer neutron.
