(a)
Interpretation:
The common nuclear radiations are to be grouped in a category with a negative charge.
Concept introduction:
The radioactive decay is a process which involves the emission of radiation by an unstable atomic nucleus. The atomic nucleus loses it energy during radioactive decay. The process of radioactive decay is spontaneous.
(b)
Interpretation:
The common nuclear radiations are to be grouped in a category with a mass number greater than
Concept introduction:
