Radium 226 has decays by Alpha emmision to produce Radon-222. Sometimes a gamma ray is emmited at the same time and lower energy alpha is emitted the product is same in both cases. Gamma emmision by itself causes no change to the atom the nucleus just ends up with a lower energy.

What type of ray is gamma ray commonly known as?
well none, its either gamma ray or gamma radiation, it has the same wavelength as an x-ray but higher energy level.
Is a gamma ray a natural ray?
Yes, a gamma ray is a natural ray. It occurs as a result of changes to atomic nuclei, and we most often see them (gamma rays) appear in radioactive decay.
What radioactive emissions are not a particle Neutron Alpha Proton Beta Gamma Ray?
Gamma Ray
What is 1 discovery for the compton gamma ray?
It showed that most gamma ray bursts come from other galaxies, not our own. This means that gamma ray bursts must be extremely powerful.
What nuclear decay have no mass and no charge?
Gamma
If cobalt-60 emits a gamma ray what is the product?
Cobalt-60
What effect does losing a gamma ray have on the nucleus?
Nothing, if the nucleus emits a gamma-ray it means something has happened to it already.
Uses of technetium?
Its short-lived gamma ray-emitting nuclear isomer-technetium-99m-is used in nuclear medicine for a wide variety of diagnostic tests.
Is a gamma-ray burst more powerful than a pulsar?
A gamma ray burster emits an amount of gamma ray energy in one pulse roughly equal all EM radiation energy of a galaxy in a year. So yes.
How do the mass number and charge of a nucleus change when it emits a gamma ray?
Neither changes. A gamma ray is just energy, and the nucleus simply transitions to a lower energy state.
What radiation does gold-198 emit?
Gold-198 predominantly emits a mono-energetic gamma ray of energy 0.412 MeV. It also emits beta rays of much higher energy than that of gamma rays.
When a radioactive nucleus gives off a gamma ray it's atomic number increases by?
Emission of a gamma ray does not change the atomic number of the atom. A gamma ray is a photon, and has no mass. The atom's mass is reduced by the conversion of a tiny amount of mass into the energy of the gamma ray. This changes neither the number of protons nor the number of neutrons. It is done by rearranging the nucleons, changing the state of excitation of the nucleus. An example is when 99mTc emits a gamma ray and changes to 99Tc.
Which ray is the strongest?
Gamma Ray
Why do we use gamma ray machine?
We use a gamma ray machine to find out where the gamma rays are and where they are pointed to. We also use these machines to study a gamma ray.
What do we use gamma ray for?
We use Gamma Ray to make Hulk
When was Gamma Ray - band - created?
Gamma Ray - band - was created in 1988.
What type of ray is gamma ray commonly known as?
well none, its either gamma ray or gamma radiation, it has the same wavelength as an x-ray but higher energy level.
