Today we cover the high yield MCAT topic of radioactive decay and simplify it to only what you need to know for the exam. MAIN TAKEAWAY: treat the decay process as if it were a chemical equation! That way you only need to know what an alpha particle, beta particle (electron), and positron are.

An alpha particle is really, at the end of the day, a helium nucleus. A beta particle is really an electron, and a positron, is, well, a positron. A gamma particle is a light ray in the gamma wavelength (very short wavelength, high frequency)—if you have no clue what I'm talking about, look up the electromagnetic spectrum, another high yield MCAT topic.

If you're more interested in how and why this works, check out a more conceptual video here: Stable and Unstable Nuclei | Radioact... .
