|
|
Beta decay
|
|
|
Gamma decay
|
|
|
Alpha decay
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Alpha decay or -decay is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and thereby transforms or ‘decays’ into a different atomic nucleus, with a mass number that is reduced by four and an atomic number that is reduced by two.
Detailed explanation-2: -Expert-Verified Answer. The number of protons or atomic number is reduced to 2 by c. Alpha decay.
Detailed explanation-3: -Alpha decay is a type of radioactive decay in which an unstable atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (two protons plus two neutrons) and energy.
