# data[].attributes.body
the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting radiation, such as an alpha particle or beta particle.

If an atoms does not have a proton to neutron ratio of 1:1, is will decay.

Forms of decay include Alpha, Beta, and Gamma

# data[].attributes.body
radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and thereby transforms or 'decays' into a different atomic nucleus, with a mass number that is reduced by four and an atomic number that is reduced by two.

# data[].attributes.body
The atomic mass after this type of decay in unchanged. The atomic number has increased by 1. The equation is 0 over -1 with an ¨ e ¨

# data[].attributes.body
In Gamma Decay neither the proton number nor the Atomic mass is changed. The end result will be the same as the beginning numbers.

In nuclear fission the atoms separate from each other and releases 3 neutrons.

In Fusion, 2 or more atoms combine to create energy and release helium and a neutron.
