What is the difference between radioactive decay, nuclear reactions and nuclear equations?
Radioactive decay is something like, alpha, beta, gamma, positron emission or electron capture radiation. The atom emits the alpha beta etc to make it more stable. A nuclear reaction can be fission, where an atom is bombarded with a nucleus and it splits up. I think its called transmutation or something like that. A nuclear equation is just showing all of this in a balanced equation.
