Nuclear Class Notes 4-14

The document discusses nuclear chemistry, focusing on types of nuclear emissions such as alpha, beta, and gamma radiation, including their properties like mass, charge, penetrating power, and ionizing ability. It also covers radioactive decay processes, including examples of alpha and beta decay, and emphasizes the conservation of mass and charge in nuclear equations. Additionally, it includes matching exercises and examples of artificial transmutation reactions.
