Types of radiation Unstable nucleus New nucleus Alpha particle 10/24/2020 1) Alpha ( )

Types of radiation Unstable nucleus New nucleus Alpha particle 10/24/2020 1) Alpha ( ) – an atom decays into a new atom and emits an alpha particle (2 neutrons – the nucleus protons and 2 _____ helium atom) of a ______ 2) Beta ( ) – an atom decays into a new atom by changing a neutron into a proton and electron. The fast moving, _______ Beta high energy electron is called a beta particle. Unstable nucleus New nucleus 3) Gamma – after or decay surplus ______ energy is sometimes emitted. This is called gamma radiation and has a very frequency with short high ______ wavelength. The atom is not changed. Gamma radiation Words – frequency, proton, energy, neutrons, helium, beta
