Study Notes

Nuclear Equations

A nuclear equation is a symbolic representation of a nuclear reaction, showing the changes that occur in the nucleus of an atom during radioactive decay or other nuclear processes.
It balances the atomic numbers and mass numbers of the reactants and products.
The equation indicates the particles involved in the transformation.

Types of Nuclear Reactions

Alpha decay: a type of nuclear reaction that involves the emission of an alpha particle from the nucleus.
Beta decay: a type of nuclear reaction that involves the emission of a beta particle from the nucleus.
Gamma radiation: a type of nuclear reaction that involves the emission of high-energy gamma rays from the nucleus.
