Logan Hoover · Answer 2

Answer: energy and particles

Explanation:

Radioactive decay process is a type of process in which a less stable nuclei decomposes to a stable nuclei by releasing some radiations or particles like alpha particles, beta particles or gamma-radiations. The radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.

Alpha particles are helium nuclei, beta particles are electrons and gamma radiations are electromagnetic radiations which are released in the form of energy.

Thus the arrows represent energy and particles.
