electric & magnetic field - alpha, beta and gamma

Question 1

what happens to alpha in e & m field?

Answer 1

attracted to negative ions as it is positive

Question 2

what happens to gamma in e & m field?

Answer 2

no effect or charge

Question 3

what happens to beta in e & m field?

Answer 3

attracted to positive as is negative, deflects most into light

Question 4

when is gamma given off?

Answer 4

only when beta or alpha is given off and is energy released

Question 5

what do you do with alpha equations?

Answer 5

alpha is 4 on top and 2 on bottom
takeaway 4 onto top no. and takeaway 2 onto bottom no.

e.g
238 234 4
U —–> Y + alpha
92 90 2

—–> element is now 234 and 90 = Th

Question 6

what do you do to work beta equations?

Answer 6

beta is 0 on top and -1 on the bottom

e.g dont do anything with top no. and ADD 1 from bottom no.

Question 7

what is nuclear decay?

Answer 7

when alpha, beta or gamma is released
