Radioactivity Nuclear reactions can change one element into another element. In the late 1890s, scientists noticed some substances spontaneously emitted radiation, a process they called radioactivity. The rays and particles emitted are called radiation. A reaction that involves a change in an atom's nucleus is called a nuclear reaction. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Unstable Nuclei and Radioactive Decay

Radioactivity Radioactive Decay Unstable nuclei lose energy by emitting radiation in a spontaneous process called radioactive decay. Unstable radioactive elements undergo radioactive decay thus forming stable nonradioactive elements. There are three types of radiation: alpha, beta, and gamma Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Unstable Nuclei and Radioactive Decay

Types of Radiation Alpha Radiation Alpha radiation is made up of positively charged particles called alpha particles. Each alpha particle contains two protons and two neutrons and has a 2+ charge. The figure shown below is a nuclear equation showing the radioactive decay of radium-226 to radon-222. An alpha particle is equivalent to a helium-4 nucleus and is represented by He or α. Thus, showing mass is conserved in a nuclear equation. 4 2 Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Unstable Nuclei and Radioactive Decay

Types of Radiation Beta Radiation Beta radiation is radiation that has a negative charge and emits beta particles. Each beta particle is an electron with a 1– charge. During Beta decay, a neutron is converted to a proton and an electron. The electron is emitted and the proton stays in the nucleus.

Types of Radiation Gamma Radiation Gamma rays are high-energy radiation with no mass and are neutral. They usually accompany alpha and beta radiation. Gamma rays account for most of the energy lost during radioactive decay. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Unstable Nuclei and Radioactive Decay

Types of Radiation Gamma Radiation Because gamma rays are massless, the emission of gamma rays by themselves cannot result in the formation of a new atom. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Unstable Nuclei and Radioactive Decay

Types of Radiation Nuclear Stability Atoms that contain too many or two few neutrons are unstable and lose energy through radioactive decay to form a stable nucleus. Few exist in nature—most have already decayed to stable forms. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Unstable Nuclei and Radioactive Decay
