Question

When a proton and a neutron is combined together to form a nucleus, it emits a gamma ray of energy:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Answer 1

These electrons are not electrons from the electron shells around the nucleus, but are generated when a neutron in the nucleus splits to form a proton and an accompanying electron. Beta particles are negatively charged. Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves of very short wavelength and high frequency. The emission of gamma rays does not alter the number of protons or neutrons in the nucleus but instead has the effect of moving the nucleus from a higher to a lower energy state (unstable to stable). Gamma ray emission frequently follows beta decay, alpha decay, and other nuclear decay processes.
