First:
beta decay – a beta particle is defined as an electron being emitted (think of it as a neutron in the nucleus of an atom breaks down into a proton and an electron; then the electron is released from the nucleus)

(2) Fusion – two lighter elements coming together to form a heavier atom

(3) alpha decay- alpha particle is a helium nucleus emitted from the nucleus of a heavy atom to form a lighter atom
