Question

which type of decay is a form of nuclear fission? (1 point)
alpha decay
beta - plus decay
beta - minus decay
gamma decay

Explanation:

Nuclear fission involves the splitting of a nucleus. Alpha - decay is a form of nuclear fission as in alpha - decay, a nucleus emits an alpha particle (a helium - 4 nucleus), effectively splitting off a part of the original nucleus. Beta - plus, beta - minus, and gamma decays do not involve the splitting of the nucleus in the same way as alpha decay.

Answer:

alpha decay
