CHEM WILL GIVE ALL POINTS 3. The three major types of radioactive decay of an unstable nucleus are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays.
Compare and contrast alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays.
Explain how alpha decay works and how it causes transmutations.
Explain how beta decay works and how it causes transmutations.
Compare the transmutations caused by alpha and beta emissions.

3.09 lab: reaction of metals 1 which combinations of substances resulted in a chemical change? for each metal that participated in a chemical change, write the type of metal it is, based on your examination of the periodic table. were there any metallic compounds that did not react with either the acid or the base? write the type of metal, based on your examination of the periodic table. make a general statement about the reactivity of the metals in this experiment.
