Question:
Explanation of alpha beta decay
Answer:
Alpha Decay - Alpha decay is the process in which an unstable nucleus transforms itself into a new nucleus by emitting a helium nucleus.
eg. Uranium-238 on emitting a helium nucleus changes into thorium-234.
Beta Decay- It is the process of spontaneous emission of an electron or a positron from a nucleus.
The electron emitted from the nucleus is called a beta minus particle.
