Answer:

<h3>ALPHA DECAY</h3>

Alpha decay or α-decay is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle 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.

<h3>BETA DECAY</h3>

Beta decay is one process that unstable atoms can use to become more stable

in beta DECAY parent nuclide has proton number increased by 1 and mass number is same

<h3>GAMMA DECAY</h3>

Gamma decay is one type of radioactive decay that a nucleus can undergo. What separates this type of decay process from alpha or beta decay is that no particles are ejected from the nucleus when it undergoes this type of decay. Instead, a high energy form of electromagnetic radiation - a gamma ray photon - is released. Gamma rays are simply photons that have extremely high energies which are highly ionizing.[1] As well, gamma radiation is unique in the sense that undergoing gamma decay does not change the structure or composition of the atom. Instead, it only changes the energy of the atom s
