 * __Alpha Emission__**

During alpha emission, two neutrons and 1/1 H are shot out. Like in this picture, 241/95 Am turns into 237/93 Np+ 4/2 He


 * __Beta Emission__**

In beta emission, a neutron turns into a proton that stays in the neuclus and an electron shoots out. 137/55 Cs --->137/56 Ba+ 0/1 beta

Positron emission is when a proton becomes a neutron and pushes out a positivly charged positron. 11/6 C --> 11/5 B + 0/1 Beta
 * __Positron Emission__**

During electron capture one proton plus one electron becomes a neutron. 11/6 C+0/-1beta--> 11/5 B
 * __Electron Capture__**

Though they are high energy rays, gamma rays cause no change to the atom.
 * __Gamma Emission__**
