Nuclear Reaction
A process that alters the composition or
structure of atomic nuclei, resulting in
the formation of new nuclei or particles.
Nuclear reactions can involve the
absorption, emission, or transformation
of particles within atomic nuclei.
Emission
Refers to the release of particles or
radiation from a nucleus.
This can include the release of alpha
particles, beta particles, gamma rays,
neutrons, or other particles as a result of
nuclear processes such as radioactive
decay or nuclear reactions.
Decay
The change of an element into a
different element, usually with
some other particle(s) and
energy emitted.
CAPTURE REACTION
In a capture reaction, a target nucleus
captures a projectile particle, resulting in
the formation of a new, heavier nucleus.

+ 
FUSION REACTION
Fusion reactions involve the
combination of two lighter nuclei
to form a heavier nucleus.

+ 
POSITRON EMISSION
Involves the emission of a positron, which is the
antimatter counterpart of an electron.
This occurs in certain radionuclides where a
proton decays into a neutron, emitting a
positron and a neutrino.

 +
NUETRON EMISSION
Neutron emission occurs when an unstable
nucleus emits one or more neutrons.
Neutron emission can stabilize a nucleus by
reducing its neutron-to-proton ratio.

 +
GAMMA RADIATION
Gamma radiation consists of high-energy photons
emitted from a nucleus.
Gamma emission often accompanies other types
of radioactive decay and serves to stabilize the
nucleus by releasing excess energy.

 +
ALPHA-PARTICLE EMISSION
Some heavy nuclei undergo alpha-
particle emission, releasing an alpha
particle (helium nucleus) and
transforming into a new element.

 +
BETA DECAY
Beta decay involves the
transformation of a neutron
into a proton (beta-plus
decay) or a proton into a
neutron (beta-minus decay).
BALANCING NUCLEAR
REACTIONS
Nuclear reactions also follow conservation
laws, and they are balanced in two
ways: the sum of the mass numbers of the
reactants equals the sum of the mass
numbers of the products.
The sum of the charges of the reactants
equals the sum of the charges of the
products.

reactions and determine the
type of nuclear reaction.

NUETRON-INDUCED REACTION
Neutrons can be used to induce
reactions by bombarding a target
nucleus with neutrons.
