alpha decay: the process where an atom releases a helium nucleus to form an isotope of another atom with an atomic number lower by two and an atomic mass lower by 4

 

alpha particle: a helium nucleus emitted during alpha decay

 

beta decay: the process of radioactive decay where a proton becomes a neutron or a neutron becomes a proton

 

beta particle: electrons or positrons emitted from the nucleus of an atom during beta decay
