    The document is a worksheet about radioactivity and nuclear reactions. It defines radioactivity and provides examples of radioactive isotopes. It describes alpha particles as equivalent to helium nuclei, beta particles as equivalent to electrons, and gamma rays as electromagnetic radiation. The worksheet asks students to write chemical equations for alpha and beta particle emissions from specific isotopes of plutonium, francium, tin, and technetium, and identify the resulting daughter isotopes. It also asks students to compare the penetrating abilities of alpha and beta particles and alpha particles and gamma rays, and suggest ways to protect against each type of emission.
