Source sentences:
text: alpha decay: type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle
text: Alpha decay is a form of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus characterized by mass number A and atomic number Z ejects an alpha particle and transforms into a nucleus with mass number A - 4 and atomic number Z - 2 .
text: Alpha decay or α-decay is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and thereby transforms or 'decays' into a different atomic nucleus, with a mass number that is reduced by four and an atomic number that is reduced by two.
text: Gamma decay is one type of radioactive decay that a nucleus can undergo.
text: gamma decay: type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits a gamma particle
text: Alpha decay is a form of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus characterized by mass number A and atomic number Z ejects an alpha particle (a 4He nucleus) and transforms into a nucleus with mass number A - 4 and atomic number Z - 2 .
