Briefly name and describe the three main types of radioactive decay.

What happens during radioactive decay?A.An unstable nucleus loses particles until it becomes stable.B.An unstable nucleus absorbs radiation to make it stable.C.An unstable nucleus gains mass until it becomes stable.D.An unstable nucleus gains neutrons to make it stable.

Which of the following is the best definition of radioactive decay?A.Radioactive decay is the splitting of a nucleus to produce huge amounts of energy.B.Radioactive decay is the release of energy resulting from a chemical reaction.C.Radioactive decay is the loss of mass that occurs when an atom is formed.D.Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of a nucleus into smaller parts.

Radio activity is the process by which a nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy by emitting ionizing radiation. A material that spontaneously emits this kind of radiations which includes a, b, g rays is considered radioactive.The positively charged particle with 2 units of relative of charge and 4 units of mass isSelect an answerABCDpositron
