This is referring to the structure of nucleotide tri-phosphates.

The structure of these molecules includes three phosphate groups. The first phosphate attached to the nucleotide (usually adenosine or guanine) is called the alpha phosphate. The second is called the beta, and the third the gamma. They are named after the first three letters of the Greek alphabet.

How many phosphate groups are found in ADP?

There are three phosphate groups in an ATP molecule. Go on to Google images and type in ATP or adenosine triphosphate. Look for a picture that contains chemical symbols and lines. Now, commonly on the right hand side you will see the bulk of the picture. On the left should be a line with P's and O's in the middle of it. The P's of course are the phosphates. The P closest to the bulk is called the alpha phosphate. then working out you have the beta phosphate and then the gamma phosphate. The symbols for these phosphates are the Greek letters for Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.

Is alpha and beta decay are almost always accompanied by what?

Alpha and beta decay are often accompanied by the emission of gamma radiation. Gamma radiation is a high-energy form of electromagnetic radiation that helps to stabilize the nucleus after alpha or beta decay.
