**Title: Understanding Changes in Nuclear Mass and Charge with Different Types of Radiation**When a nucleus emits different types of radiation, both its mass and charge can change. The following table outlines these changes for different types of emitted radiation:| Type of Radiation | Change in Mass | Change in Charge ||-------------------|----------------|------------------|| (a) α particle | | || (b) β particle | 0 | 1 || (c) γ ray | 0 | 0 || (d) positron | | |**Explanation of the Table:**1. **α Particle (Alpha Particle):** - This type of radiation involves the emission of an alpha particle which consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. This typically results in a decrease in the atomic mass and charge of the nucleus.2. **β Particle (Beta Particle):** - The emission of a beta particle generally does not change the atomic mass, as indicated by "0" under "Change in Mass." However, the charge increases by 1, reflecting the conversion of a neutron into a proton.3. **γ Ray (Gamma Ray):** - Gamma radiation is a high-energy electromagnetic wave, and its emission does not affect the mass or charge of the nucleus, as shown by the zero changes in both columns.4. **Positron:** - When a positron is emitted, it involves the conversion of a proton into a neutron, typically affecting the charge of the nucleus, though not its mass. The specific changes can be further explored based on the context of nuclear decay processes.**Note:** This table serves as a basic educational reference for understanding how different types of radiation affect the mass and charge of a nucleus. Further exploration into nuclear decay pathways can provide a deeper insight into these processes.
