Question

In the gamma decay of a nucleus
A) the mass number of the nucleus changes whereas its atomic number does not change B) the mass number of the nucleus does not change whereas its atomic number changes C) both the mass number and the atomic number of the nucleus change D) neither the mass number nor the atomic number of the nucleus changes

Answer 1

In gamma decay, depicted in a nucleus changes from a higher energy state to a lower energy state through the emission of electromagnetic radiation (photons). The number of protons (and neutrons) in the nucleus does not change in this process, so the parent and daughter atoms are the same chemical element.
