Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The types of radioactive decays undergo by ${}^{13}{\text{B \&}}^{188}\text{Au}$ are to be written.

Concept introduction:

There are different types of emissionsduring nuclear reactions. This is due to the presence of unstable nuclei. These are beta particle $\left({}_{-1}^0\beta \right)$, positron $\left({}_{+1}^0\beta \right)$, alpha particle $\left({}_2^4\alpha \right)$, and neutron $\left({}_0^{1}n\right)$.
