Alpha Emission
What is Alpha Emission? Alpha emission is when a radioactive
nucleus of an atom submits a helium nucleus out of the nucleus
itself, leaving the old nucleus with the mass going down by 4 and
the atomic number going down by 2. (2 neutrons and 2 protons “spit
out”)
Beta Emission
What is Beta Emission? Beta Emission is when a radioactive nucleus
undergoes a procedure that has one neutron of the nucleus split
into an electron and proton changing the atomic number by 1 and
the mass staying the same.
Positron Emission
What is Positron Emission? Positron Emission is when a proton is
“converted” into a neutron combining with an electron, reducing the
atomic number by 1 and leaving the mass the same.
QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
Electron Capture
What is Electron Capture? Electron capture is when an atom has an
unstable number of protons (more than electrons) and it picks up an
electron, having positron emission coming into place, having combine
the proton and newly electron, changing it into a neutron leaving the
atomic number reduced and the mass staying the same.
Gamma Emission
What is Gamma Emission? Gamma Emission more known as “Gamma
rays”, are a type of electromagnetic radiation with very short wave
length and very high frequency, may able to cause damage.

To wrap up this project, there are five types of
Nuclear Emissions, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Positron,
and Electron. The equations are above. Nuclear decay
is how long it takes for a nuclear substance to decay.
