Alpha decay (mass) - Mass number decreases by 4, Alpha decay (atomic) - Atomic number decreases by 2, Alpha decay (process) - An unstable nucleus loses some of its nucleons as a helium nucleus, Neutron decay (mass) - Mass number decreases by 1, Neutron decay (atomic) - Atomic number stays the same, Neutron decay (process) - A nucleus ejects a neutron, All beta decay (mass) - The mass number stays the same, Beta minus decay (atomic) - Atomic number increases by 1, Beta minus decay (process) - A neutron changes into a proton and an electron, Beta plus decay (atomic) - The atomic number decreases by 1, Beta plus decay (process) - A proton changes into a neutron and a positron, Gama decay (process) - Energy is released due to nuclear rearrangement, Gamma decay (mass and atomic) - Both stay the same, no particles are changed/emitted, Alpha and beta radiation - Form a new element, Neutron and gamma radiation - Stay the same element,
