∙ 7y agoNo, gamma radiation is electromagnetic radiation and thus is composed of photons (which are massless particles).

∙ 11y agoGamma are not the particles they are electromagnetic rays and are very similar to X-rays, so they don't have charge and mass.

Which of the following is not a component of the radiation emitted by a radioactive sample a.alpha radiation b.delta radiation c.gamma radiation d.beta radiation?
Radioactive substances can emit alpha particles, gamma radiation (gamma rays) and beta radiation (beta particles). What they do not emit is delta radiation.It causes transmutation.It has a mass of 4 amus.
Nuclear radiation ranked from the greatest mass to the least mass is a- Xray gamma ray beta particle b- Xray beta particle gamma ray c- Alpha particle beta particle gamma ray d Beta alpha gamma?
aplha, beta, gamma
Which two types of radiation will pass through a sheet of card?
Gamma radiation
Which type of radiation alpha beta or gamma results in the greatest change in mass number?
alpha - 2 neutrons and 2 protons released or neutron collision with a fissionable nucleus resulting in the fissioning of the atom into two fission fragments and more neutrons creating two atoms each a little less than half the atomic mass of the original atom
Emission of gamma rays does not change the atomic number of a nucleus?
no, gamma rays are very high frequency electromagnetic radiation and are not protons or electrons as alpha and beta radiation are respectively.
What types of radiation has no mass and no charge?
Gamma radiation
Do gamma ray have mass?
They are electromagnetic radiation, so no.
What nuclear radiation is smallest?
Gamma radiation is the smallest, because they have no mass.
Which type of radiation has no mass or charge?
Free radiation I suppose. But gamma radiation, is charge free. As is UV, IR, ... ..
What type of radiation has neither charge nor mass?
gamma
What is the relative atomic mass of gamma radiation?
don't know
Does an atomic increase through gamma radiation?
it remains the same gamma rays have no mass and no electrical charge
Does Gamma ray primarily consist of pure energy and no mass?
Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation, which is a type energy. Because a gamma ray is a type of energy, it has no mass.
What types of radiation has no mass?
electromagnetic radiation (e.g. radio, light, x-rays, gamma rays)
What is gamma particle?
an energy ray with no mass and no charge
What change in atomic mass when an atom emits gamma radiation?
It remains the same.
Does gamma radiation have no mass because it is an EM wave?
Yes, I believe so.
