Isotopes of Hydrogen and Properties of Radiation

?

Isotopes are the atoms of an element with different numbers of neutrons. They have the same proton number, but different mass numbers.

Three isotopes of hydrogen:

Hydrogen-1: Nucleus: 0 neutron, 1 proton. 1 electron orbiting. Hydrogen-2: Nucleus: 1 neutron, 1 proton. 1 electron orbiting. Hydrogen-3: Nucleus: 1 proton, 2 neutrons. 1 electron orbiting. (http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/bam/live/content/zvxb87h/large)

Nuclear radiation

Alpha, beta and gamma radiation.

Alpha radiation

Alpha radiation consists of alpha particles. An alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of a helium atom,
