Read each statement and determine if it describes alpha, beta, or gamma decay.

decay occurs when a nucleus emits either an electron or a positron,

Gamma = decay has no charge on mass but is capable of penetrating many substances.

V Alpha - decay has a charge of + 2.

decay results in a new element with the same mass number.

Alpha decay can be stopped by a piece of paper.
