Alpha and beta are particles and are ionizing but they are not rays. Their velocity varies with the energy that they are ejected with from unstable atoms. Gamma rays, as well as x-rays and the entire range of the electromagnetic spectrum, have a constant velocity of the speed of light or they don't exist at all.

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.


Why is gamma radiation different from alpha and beta radiation?

Gamma radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, whereas alpha and beta radiation are composed of particles. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest energy, whereas alpha and beta particles are larger and less penetrating. Gamma radiation does not carry an electric charge, while alpha and beta particles do.
