Why are emissions of alpha-particle beta-particle gamma-particle called nuclear phenomenon?

Answer»

Alpha, beta and gamma decay are a result of the three fundamental forces working in the nucleus – the 'strong' force, the 'weak' force and the electromagnetic force. In all three cases, the emission of radiation increases the nucleus's stability, by adjusting its proton : neutron ratio.
