  • Beta decay is defined as the process in which beta particle is emitted. In this process, a neutron gets converted to a proton and an electron. The released beta particle is also known as electron.
  • Gamma decay In this process, an unstable nuclei releases excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process and gamma -radiations are emitted. These radiations does not carry any charge and are electrically neutral.
