Types of Radioactive Decay

Types of Radioactive Decay

Basic objective of this lecture is to present on Types of Radioactive Decay. There are three major types of nuclear decay that radioactive particles can undergo: alpha, beta, or gamma decay. here briefly describe on six common types of radioactive decay. Alpha emission; Beta emission; Positron emission; Electron capture; Gamma emission and  Spontaneous fission. Nuclides outside the band of stability are generally radioactive.
