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]]> 2019-04-05 19:12:46 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_reyeszy/NuclearChemistry/wish/349063306 Alpha Decay richard_reyeszy https://padlet.com/richard_reyeszy/NuclearChemistry/wish/349065586 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.]]> 2019-04-05 19:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/richard_reyeszy/NuclearChemistry/wish/349065586 Beta Decay richard_reyeszy https://padlet.com/richard_reyeszy/NuclearChemistry/wish/349066202 The atomic mass after this type of decay in unchanged.
