By: Betsy Sulser and Kristin Nagle



=In this presentation you will learn about five different types of radiation. These types are listed below:=

=//Alpha Emission//= =//Beta Emission//= =//Positron Emission//= =//Electron Capture//= =//Gamma Emission//=

=Alpha Emisssion=

23892U undergoes alpha decay: its product is 23490Th 23892U -> 23490Th + 42He

//**Alpha Emission is two protons and two neutrons bound together and are emitted from the nucleus during some kinds of radioactive decay.**//



=Beta Emission=

31H -> 32He + e- =This is an example of beta Emission=

=//Beta Emission is in an electron emitted from the nucleus during some kinds of radioactive decay.//=



=Positron Emission=

//Positron Emission is a particle that has the same mass as an electron, but has a positive charge, and is emitted from the nucleus during some kinds of radioactive decay.//




=ELECTRON CAPTURE=

Electron capture is on process that unstable atoms can use to become more stable.



This is an example of electrom capture equation.


 * GAMMA EMISSION**

Gamma Emission occurs primarily after the emission of a decay particles.

CONCLUSION

Alpha Emission is two protons and two neutrons bound together and are emitted form the nucleaus during some kinds or radioactive decay.

Beta Emission is an elsectron emitted from the nucleuse during some kinds of radioactive decay.

Positron Emission is a particle that has the same mass as an electron, but has a postive charge, and is emitted from the nucleus during some kinds of radioactive decay.

Electron Capture is one process that unstable atoms can use to become more stable.

Gamma Emission occurs primarilly after the emission of a decay particles.
