Concept Introduction:
Nuclear reaction is a physical process in which there is a change in identity of an atomic nucleus. Natural radioactive decays, artificial radioactive decays... are considered as nuclear reactions because these processes make changes in the identity of an atomic nucleus.
Common particles in radioactive decay and nuclear transformations are mentioned below,
There are various types of nuclear processes. The changes in
