Alpha Radiation
Form-2 Protons+2 Neutrons (Heluim neucleus) Mass-4. Speed-slowest. Stopped by-Paper/Skin.
1 of 6
Beta Radiation
Form- 1 Electron. Mass-Almost 0 (Negligable) Speed-Faster. Stopped by-Aluminium/Bone.
2 of 6
Gamma Radiation
Form-Pure Energy. Mass-0. Speed-Speed of Light. Stopped by-Thick Lead.
3 of 6
Isotopes
Same atomic number, different mass number (same protons different neutrons)
4 of 6
Nuclear Fission
One electron that hits into a large unstable atom which then splits into two daughter nuclei and releases energy and 3 neutrons are released which will then carry on the reaction onto 3 more unstable atoms
5 of 6
Nuclear Fusion
A heavy hydrogen isotope and a light hydrogen collide and join together, releasing energy and one neutron
