Most types of nuclear decay emissions consist of subatomic particles -- neutrons, protons and electrons -- energetically kicked out of an atom. However, one type of radiation, called the gamma ray, is pure energy.
An alpha particle is made up of two protons and two neutrons bound together, which is the equivalent of a helium-4 nucleus. In the process of emitting the alpha particle, the americium-241 atom becomes a neptunium-237 atom.or americium-241, it is known that half of the atoms decay in 458 years. Therefore, 458 years is the half-life of americium-241.
