100

This particle has a large mass and a +2 charge (2 protons, 2 neutrons).

What is an Alpha Particle.

100

Mass of a Proton aka (Mp)

decays by a ______

with a primary energy level of ______

200

Radiation that has enough energy to excite electrons to move up another shell and , as they return to their original shell, they release photons in the form of visible light, uv light, radar waves, and microwaves, but the energy level is too low to ionize atoms.

What is Non-ionizing Radiation

200

The process of unstable (radioactive) atoms releasing radiation to become stable.

What is radioactivity.
