Type of Radiation What Happens Results Alpha decay Nucleus releases an alpha particle with two neutrons and two protons 16? 12? + 2 ? 4? + 2 4?? 8 6 ?? ? 2 4?? ? Beta Decay Nucleus ejects an electron 16? 16? + 1 0? 8 9 ?? + 1 0? ?? ?+1 ? Protons and neutrons rearrange into a more stable form; energy is emitted Gamma Decay 16? 16? + 0 0? 8 8 0? ?? ? ?? +0 ?

Type of Radiation What Happens Results Non-ionizing Radiation is in low energy parts of electromagnetic spectrum Radio waves, infrared waves, ultraviolet waves Ionizing Radiation with higher energy that can remove an electron from its orbital (producing an ion) X-rays, Gamma rays, particle radiation such as alpha or beta particles Free neutron particles that can collide with other atoms Neutron Graphic Organizer to accompany AlphaBetaGamma radiation activity
