Radioactive Decay

Today in Chemistry we started tailing about radioactive decay and three different types of it. The three main ones we are going to focus on are:
-Alpha Decay
-Beta Decay
-Gamma Decay

Each different radioactive decay effects the element involved in it, in a different way. This table summarizes each of the processes and shows how they differentiate.





This link elaborates more on all three of the types of decay we went over as well as some others: http://chemed.chem.purdue.edu/genchem/topicreview/bp/ch23/modes.php

    I like how you added the picture of the table to this post. I think it really helps to explain what each form of decay does and how it effects the elements. Thanks for sharing!
