Front

electron capture

Back

222/88 Ra ---> 4/2 He + 218/86 R

Front

alpha decay equation

Back

The process whereby a radioactive element releases energy slowly over a long period of time to lower its energy and become more stable is best described as a. combustion b. decay c. fusion d. fission

Front

B- decay

Back

an inner orbital electron is captured by the nucleus of its own atom

Front

electron capture

Back

Process of changing one element to another through radioactive decay

Front

Transmutation

Back

Front

nuclear fusion equation

Back

A nuclear reaction in which an atom emits an alpha particle consisting of two protons and two neutrons. This increases the atomic number by 2 and the mass number by 4.
