Isotopes

Isotopes are versions of an atom or an element that have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons

What are Isotopes?

Radioactive Decay

Alpha, Beta & Gamma Radiation

• Alpha particles are emitted by a larger nucleus that has too many Protons
• Beta particles are emitted by a nucleus that has too many Neutrons
• Gamma photons are emitted by a nucleus that has too much Energy (is in an exited state)

• PhET Alpha Decay app can be found here
• PhET Beta Decay app can be found here
