For the decay processes below, describe the following:
• What happens during the decay? Include what happens in the nucleus of the
parent element
What special particle(s) is/are produced, aside from the daughter element?
• How can you use the parent element to determine the daughter element by
referring to the periodic table?
.
a. Alpha decay (3 pts)
b. Beta decay (3 pts.)
c. Gamma decay (3 pts.)
