alpha emission – emits a [...] nucleus (2 protons, 2 neutrons aka: alpha particle), often released from a large atom | alpha emission – emits a helium nucleus (2 protons, 2 neutrons aka: alpha particle), often released from a large atom |
beta emission – emits a high-speed [...] or [...] ([...]) from the nucleus (not from the orbitals) | beta emission – emits a high-speed electron or positron (antielectron) from the nucleus (not from the orbitals) |
