=Alpha Emission=



Alpha decay is a type of decay in which a nucleus emits two protons and two neutrons bound together and transforms into an atom with 4 less amu's and 2 less protons.

=Beta Emission=



Beta decay is when during the process a proton is emitted from the nucleus.

=Positron Emission=



During positron emission a proton is converted into a neutron, a positron, and a neutrino.

=Electron Capture=



Electron capture is when there are too many protons in the nucleus of an atom and insufficient energy to emit a positron.

=Gamma Emission=



Gamma emission is when an excited nuclei emits fluorescent gamma rays and emits photon light from an excited electron.

=Conlcusions=
 * Alpha Emission: An atom is released during radioactivity that contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
 * Beta Emission: An electron is emitted during radioactivity.
 * Positron Emission: A proton is converted into a neutron, positron, and neutrino.
 * Electron Capture: The nucleus captures an electron during decay.
 * Gamma Emission: An excited nucleus emits photon light.
