They can decay through one of three ways:
alpha decay
beta decay and
gamma decay
ALPHA- particle with two neutrons and two protons is ejected from the nucleus of the radioactive atom. this particle released is called an alpha particle. Only occurs with heavy metals.
BETA- pretty much when a proton is transformed into a neutron, or vise versa. in a beta minus decay, the nuetron decays into a proton and in a beta plus decay, a proton decays into a neutron
GAMMA- the nucleus changes from a high energy state to a low energy state by releasing electromagnetic radiation (photons). the number of protons and neutrons stay the same during this reaction therefore the element is still the same.
Answer:
it can be revised at any time.
Explanation:
The reaction is a displacement reaction. Iron is more reactive than copper. Hence, it displaces copper,forming iron II sulfate and copper metal.
This reaction is an exothermic reaction, hence it releases energy. The colour change indicates that iron has displaced copper.
