Question

Natural radioactivity is due to the decay of unstable nuclei. Radioactive atoms are called radioisotopes and their nuclei are called radionuclides. The diagram below shows an important experiment that Rutherford did to detect three main types of radiation (alpha, beta, and gamma). He observed what happened to a single beam of mixed radiation when it was aimed through an electric field.

On the blanks next to each beam, predict what type of radiation is represented
