What are the three types of nuclear particles emitted when a radioactive atom decay?

Respuesta :

Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Decay

Answer:

Alpha particles, Beta particles and Gamma rays

Explanation:

The emission of particles when a radioactive atom decays is called radioactivity.

An atom is radioactive as a result of unstable nucleus. This unstable nucleus of the atom disinintegrates and leads to emission of Alpha particles, Beta particles and gamma rays.

Alpha particles contain 2 protons and 2 neutrons. They are positively charged

Beta particles are negatively charged

Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves with short wavelength
