Which radiation are each of these statements about? (ALPHA, BETA OR GAMMA)

This radiation is made up of two protons and two neutrons.

This is where a neutron splits into a proton and an electron.

Occurs after either beta or alpha radiation when the nucleus is cooling down.

Usually happens if a isotope has too few neutrons

Can pass through paper and the air. It can be stopped by a thin sheet of aluminium

No change in mass or atomic number because the number of particles have not changed

Atomic number increases by 1 because we have created proton

But the mass number stays the same because the neutron has turned into a proton.

The mass number of the nucleus will decrease by four and the atomic number of the nucleus to decrease by
two

High levels of this radiation can only be stopped by thick concrete or lead stopped by a human hand.
