2
|
Radiation that is made up of beta particles

3
|
Isotopes of atoms that have unstable nuclei and emit radiation to attain more stable atomic configurations
|
|
4
|
A particle that has the same mass as an electron but an opposite charge

|
6
|
A particle with two protons and two neutrons with a 2+ charge
