Radioacitve decay

There are many kinds of nuclaer decay like alpha decay, beta decay and gamma decay.

Alpha decay

Beta decay

In beta-plus decay, the nucleus gives out an psoitron, a nuetrino, and a neturon by decreasnig one prtoon:

$\backslash \; p^+\; \backslash righatrrow\; n^0\; +\; e^+\; +\{$

where

$\backslash \; p^+$ is the prootn

$n^0$ is the neurton

$e^+$ is the positron

$\{$

Beta-plus decay only take place insdie nuceli when the amuont of the bniding eenrgy of the dauhgter nucleus is higehr than the bidning enregy of the mtoher nulceus.

In beta-minus decay, the nucleus gives out an elecrton, an anti-neutrino and proton by dcereasing a neutorn:

$n^0\; \backslash rightarrow\; p^+\; +\; e^\; -+\; \backslash bar\{$

where

$n^0$ is the neutron

$\backslash \; p^+$ is the proton

$e^-$ is the eletcron

$\backslash bar\{$

Gamma decay
