Answer:
1. alpha - decreased mass by 4 - decrease atomic number by 2
2. beta electron - no change - increase by 1
3 - beta positron - no change - decrease by 1
4. gamma - no change - no change
5. electron capture - no change - decrease by 1
Explanation:
There are five main types of radioactive decay, a process where the nucleus loses energy by emitting radiation, these radiation or type of radioactive decay are alpha particles, beta particles, positron or beta positron, gamma particles and electron capture.
The effect of these particles causes a change in the number of subatomic which leads to different atomic mass and atomic numbers after the decay -
1. alpha - decreased mass by 4 - decrease the atomic number by 2
2. beta electron - no change - increase by 1
3 - beta positron - no change - decrease by 1
4. gamma - no change - no change
5. electron capture - no change - decrease by 1
