Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The correct statements should be determined and explained.

Concept Introduction:

The decaying of an atom takes place by three types of decay such as alpha decay, beta decay, gamma decay.

In alpha decay, an alpha particle with mass 4m and electron 2e is removed from nuclide while in beta decay two types of decay are possible beta (+) and beta (-). In gamma decay, nuclide will remain same as the original one.
