:


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.

b.Beta
c.Alpha

1 answer

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
