| Name | Symbol | Symbol in Transmutation formula | Emmission | Charge | Relative Penetrating Power (aprox) | Example(s) | Energy | Explanation and Notes | Application | |
| Alpha | Helium nucleus | +2e | 1 stopped by skin or paper however very damaging since it is very ionizing |
carried away on the alpha particle | ||||||
| Beta | B+ | high speed electron | -e | 100 penetrates human tissue to 1 cm, stopped by aluminum |

| B- | ||||||||||
| Gamma | high energy photon (shorter wavelength than x-ray)(electromagnetic wave) | 0 | 10000 highly penetrating but not very ionizing |
