//__ALPHA EMISSION

__// 241AM --> 237Np+4He 95 93 2

In Alpha Emission both the number of neutrons and number of protons need to be reduced in order to increase stability of the nucleus.

__Beta Emission

__

137CS-->137Ba + 0Beta 55 56 -1

A Beta Emission is a type of radioactive decay in which a neutron is converted to a proton with the emission of a beta particle.

__Positron Emission

__

11C--> 11B+0Beta 6 5 1

A Positron Emission is when having to decrease the number of protons, a proton can be converted in to a neutron by emitting a positron.

__Electron Capture__

11C+ 0Beta --> 11B 6 -1 5

An electron capture, an inner orbital electron is captured by the nucleus of its own atom.

__Gamma Emission

__

Gamma Emission usually occurs directly after other types of decay, when other types of decay leave the nucleus in an excited state.

Conclusion

All these emissions are forms of decay. It states how quickly something will fade away. In most of the methods of decay the number of one of the particles in the atom will change according to the manner in which it is decaying. .
