Answer:

strong and weak

Explanation:

The two types if nuclear forces are strong forces and weak forces.

Strong forces are the forces that bind quarks and aid in the formation of subatomic particles like protons and neutrons.

Beta decay is one of the examples of weak nuclear force.

Radioactive decay involves the emission of basic particles  like alpha , beta gamma, positron emission and electron capture.

The actual decay rate or the rate of disintegration depends on the number of atoms present in the sample.
