because it is negatively charged particle (an electron). It ionises and becomes a proton changing the atomic number, but not the mass.

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.
What energy transformation occurs during radioactive decay?
nuclear energy to thermal and radiant energy
Why do some researchers complain when the emission of a gamma particle is called gamma decay?
Because its not a decay process. Gamma is an emission of energy in the form of photons from the nucleus when the nucleus changes from one energy level to a lower energy level. It is true that this is often preceded by a decay event, such as alpha or beta, but it is a distinct, non decay, event.
What type of radioactive decay releases energy from the nucleus without a change of protons neutrons?
This is a gamma-decay.
Does the law of conservation of mass satisified in beta decay process?
The masses don't exactly balance. Instead, the energy of the whole system is balanced (remember mass and energy are related by the equation E = mc^2)
What is lost during radioactive decay?
Decay energy is the energy that has been freed during radioactive decay. When radioactive decay is ongoing it drops off some energy by means of discharging radiation.
Geothermal energy is caused by what type of decay?
It is Radioactive Decay.
What type of nuclear decay produces energy instead of a particle?
gamma decay
The principle natural way the earth recycles solid waste is known as?
Decay
What decay causes geothermal energy?
Naturally occurring radioactive decay deep inside the Earth creates geothermal energy.
The emission of electromagnetic energy from an atomic nucleus is called decay?
gamma
What is the energy of beta particle?
The end point energy of a beta decay is the kinetic energy of all particles emitted through B-decay. This is often ignoring the energy of the recoiling daughter nucleus.
How energy transferred through the decay of biomass?
the heat radiantof the energy
What is the law of conservation of mass and law of conservation of energy?
The law of conservation of mass states that in a closed system, mass cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed or rearranged. The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another or transferred between objects. Both laws are fundamental principles in physics that describe the preservation of mass and energy in various physical processes.
What is the endpoint energy of beta particle?
The end point energy of a beta decay is the kinetic energy of all particles emitted through B-decay. This is often ignoring the energy of the recoiling daughter nucleus.
Does oxygen affect decay why or why not?
Yes, decay is the process releasing energy by "burining" by living organisms.
