Nothing, if the nucleus emits a gamma-ray it means something has happened to it already.

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 is the vocabulary for this is a high energy photon resulting from the redistribution of the charge within the nucleus?
Gamma Ray
What happens when an atom loses a gamma ray?
doesn't effect mass # or atomic #
Does gamma rays per second effect physical half-life?
Gamma rays or gamma radiation will cause severe internal damage as well and skin burns. Even at half-life the gamma ray can cause damage to who ever come in contact with the ray.
What do we use gamma ray for?
We use Gamma Ray to make Hulk
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.
A penetrating ray of energy emitted by an unstable nucleus?
Gamma rays.

Gamma ray and x-rays origins?
nucleus and electron cloud respectively
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.
The radioactive emission that has the greatest penetrating power is?
Gamma, i.e. photon emitted from the nucleus, has the highest penetrating power.
What is the vocabulary for this is a high energy photon resulting from the redistribution of the charge within the nucleus?
Gamma Ray
He high energy photon emitted by a nucleus during fission and radioactive decay?
gamma ray
When a gamma ray is emitted by a necleus the nucleus then has appreciably less mass or charge?
it would be charge
Does the nucleus mass or atomic number change during gamma ray decay?
The emission of a gamma ray changes neither the mass number nor the atomic number of a nucleus. An example of an equation for gamma emission is: 99mTc --> 99Tc + gamma The "m" associated with the mass number indicates a metastable nuclear isomer.
