PPT-Types of Nuclear Radiation

Foldable Notes Alpha Particles 1 An alpha particle is a positively charged particle made up of two protons and two neutronsthe same as a helium nucleus 2 The common symbol for an alpha particle is . Chapter 25. Marie Curie was a Polish scientist whose research led to many discoveries about radiation and radioactive elements. In 1934 she died from leukemia caused by her long-term exposure to radiation. You will learn about the various types of radiation and their effects.. Knowledge of subatomic particles has led to many advancements- unfortunately besides the advancements in power plants there has been costs-nuclear warfare and waste. Nuclear Decay. The nucleus-cluster of protons and neutrons-is in the centre of an atom. Charles Perrow, Emeritus Professor, Yale University.
