Question

Match the description of nuclear decay to the type of nuclear decay.

Column A
1. 4/2 He




:




2. 0/-1 E




:




3.0/0 Y




:




4.
Has a mass of 4, positively charged: +2:
Has a mass of 4, positively charged: +2
5.
A negatively charged electron:
A negatively charged electron
6.
An energy wave:
An energy wave
Column B
a.Gamma
b.Beta
c.Alpha

Answer 1

Here are the matches between the descriptions of nuclear decay in Column A and the types of nuclear decay in Column B:

Column A
1. 4/2 He
: c. Alpha

2. 0/-1 E
: b. Beta

3. 0/0 Y
: a. Gamma

4. Has a mass of 4, positively charged: +2:
: c. Alpha

5. A negatively charged electron:
: b. Beta

6. An energy wave:
: a. Gamma

So the matches are:
1 → c
2 → b
3 → a
4 → c
5 → b
6 → a
