| I have some information on 3 types of emissions that are interesting. Would you like me to share? | |
 | |  |
|

 | |  |
| Sure. But I already know your going to talk about alpha. beta and gamma emissions. I'm to smart. | |

| Indeed i am. Alpha particles are helium nuclei and have a charge 2+. Alpha emission is restricted to heavy nuclei. Both the number of protons and neutrons must reduce to increase stability. | |

| Okay.Thats not so interesting. What about beta and gamma emissions? | |

| The neutron-proton ratio is too large so to decrease the number of neutrons. the neutron is converted to a proton and an electron. | |

| Boring! Well iI know gamma emission deals with high energy electromagnetic waves.Gamma rays are produced when nuclear particles have energy level changes. | |
