Alpha radiation emits a particle (a helium nucleus - 2 protons and 2 neutrons) resulting in the atomic number decreasing by two and the mass number decreasing by four. Gamma raidation emits a high energy photon (gamma wave) and there is no change in atomic number or mass number
My favourite teacher on UA-cam for the MCAT :)
Thank you!
We love you Chad
Thank you!
Excellent overview! ❤
Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
I just want to know the differences btwn gamma & alpha radiation
