Which of the following statements IS NOT an example of radioactive decay?

An example of radioactive decay is beta decay, which converts a neutron to a proton and releases an electron.

An example of radioactive decay is omega decay, which converts a proton into a neutron.

An example of radioactive decay is gamma decay, when a photon is released.

An example of radioactive decay is alpha decay, when an unstable nucleus emits an alpha particle.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
beta decay		can be stopped by paper; slow moving, releases a helium nuclei
gamma emission		can be stopped by aluminum; releases an electron
