    Types of Radioactivity

    The most common types of radioactivity are α decay, β decay, γ decay, neutron emission, and electron capture.
    Alpha (α) decay is the emission of an α particle from the nucleus. For example, polonium-210 undergoes α decay:
    Nuclear Transmutation03:20

    Nuclear Transmutation

    Nuclear transmutation is the conversion of one nuclide into another. It can occur by the radioactive decay of a nucleus, or the reaction of a nucleus with another particle. The first manmade nucleus was produced in Ernest Rutherford’s laboratory in 1919 by a transmutation reaction, the bombardment of one type of nuclei with other nuclei or with neutrons. Rutherford bombarded nitrogen-14 atoms with high-speed α particles from a natural radioactive isotope of radium and observed protons being...
