What type of nuclear decay produces energy instead of a particle?
gamma decay
Does Gamma decay change the atomic number?
Gamma decay don't affect the atomic number.
Order gamma decay beta decay and alpha deacy form weakest to strongest?
gamma decay beta decay alpha decay
Which type of radioavtive decay does the mass number remain unchanged?
Beta and Gamma
How can gamma decay without having mass?
It can't, as far as I know. "Gamma decay" doesn't refer to the decay of gamma rays; rather, it refers to a decay of ATOMS, or some other particles, which produces gamma rays in the process.
The emission of electromagnetic energy from an atomic nucleus is called decay?
gamma
The least energetic of the forms of radioactive decay is ______?
alpha decay
What are the products of radioactive decay?
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
What nuclear decay have no mass and no charge?
Gamma
What are the three products of radioactivity decay?
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
What do a gamma ray gives off?
Gamma decay occurs when an atomic nucleus changes from a higher energy state to a lower one. When it does the "extra" energy leaves in the form of a gamma ray. That's gamma decay. The gamma ray is electromagnetic energy. That means that there is not a particle of anything involved in this event. Gamma decay is the emergence of that gamma ray from the nucleus of an atom that is going down in its energy state
What stops gamma decay?
Lead
