Question

Determine the type of radioactive decay that corresponds to the given combination of Parent and Daughter Nuclei. Use the web or your book to a find a copy of the periodic table to help with this problem.
1. Alpha Decay, Beta+ Decay, Beta- Decay, or Gamma Decay? Parent: 234Pu, Daughter: 230U
2. Alpha Decay, Beta+ Decay, Beta- Decay, or Gamma Decay? Parent: 3H, Daughter: 3He
3. Alpha Decay, Beta+ Decay, Beta- Decay, or Gamma Decay? Parent: 15O, Daughter: 15N
4. Alpha Decay, Beta+ Decay, Beta- Decay, or Gamma Decay? Parent: 235U, Daughter: 235U
5. Alpha Decay, Beta+ Decay, Beta- Decay, or Gamma Decay? Parent: 30P, Daughter: 30Si

Explanation / Answer

234pu.....>230u+alpha

3H...>3He+beta - decay

15O.....>15N+BETA+DECAY

235U....>235U+gamma decay

30P.....>30 Si+beta +decay
