    Radioactive decay can occur via alpha decay, beta decay, or gamma decay. Alpha decay involves the emission of an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and results in an atom with a mass number decreased by 4 and atomic number decreased by 2. Beta decay involves the emission of an electron or positron and results in an atom with the same mass number but atomic number increased or decreased by 1. Gamma decay involves the emission of gamma ray electromagnetic radiation and results in an atom in an excited state returning to the ground state.
