Alpha particle

[image]

Definition

when a nucleus emits(decay) this particle, it loses 2 protons and so its atomic number decreases by 2.

 

when a nucleus emits (decay) this particle, its atomic mass decreases by 4.

 

 

Term

Beta particle

[image]

Definition

when the nucleus emits this (decay)the atomic mass is unchanged


when the nucleus emits this (decay) the atomic number increases by 1.

Term
Atomic Number (Z)
Definition

the number of protons in the nucleus; defines the element

Term
Mass Number (A)
Definition

the number of protons plus the number of neutrons in an atom

Term
Isotopes
Definition

atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons and therefore different masses
