Question

what are the three main types of radioactive decay?
alpha decay, beta decay, and delta decay
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay
delta decay, beta decay, and gamma decay
alpha decay, omega decay, and gamma decay

Explanation:

Radioactive decay involves the transformation of an unstable atomic nucleus. Alpha decay emits an alpha particle (a helium nucleus). Beta decay involves the emission of a beta particle (an electron or positron). Gamma decay releases gamma rays (high - energy electromagnetic radiation). Delta and omega decays are not among the three main types.

Answer:

B. alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay
