Fission, Fusion, and Nuclear decay

This week we have learned about Alpha and Beta decay, Fission, and Fusion. Alpha decay is made of 2 protons and 2 neutrons while Beta decay is made of an electron, both of these are apart of Nuclear Decay. During Alpha and Beta decay you get the daughter product, everything on the right side of the arrow should add up to the things on the left side. Fusion is when you combine two or more elements to create a new element and Fission is when you separate the atoms.
