Concept Introduction:
Radioactivity is a nuclear process. It is defined as the spontaneous disintegration of a nucleus which is done by the emission of radiation. The elements which show this property is said to be radioactive elements. Radioactive elements undergo decay by emission of alpha particles and beta particles.
An alpha particle emission causes a decrease of
Beta particle is represented as
