Introduction

Let's review the types of reactions we have studied:

Alpha Emission (α)	42He is produced (a Helium Nucleus)
Beta Emission(β)	0-1e is produced (an electron).
Gamma Emission(γ)	00γ is produced.
Positron Emission	01e is produced.
Electron Capture	0-1e is absorbed from the electron cloud.
Transmutation	Two isotopes react or a neutron (10n) is absorbed.
