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.
Why does gamma decay result in no mass loss for the atom?
A gamma decay is simply emission of a photon. Technically, there must be a tiny mass loss of E/c2 . Decay is not reallya goodword because there is no loss of electrons, neutrons or protons so the nucleus is unchanged in its make-up. There is of course energy decay.
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 nuclear decay have no mass and no charge?
Gamma
What is the daughter product of uranium 238 by beta and gamma emission?
The decay product of uranium 238 by alpha disintegration (not beta or gamma) is thorium 234.
Uranium-238 undergoes nuclear decay Therefore uranium-238 will?
Become thorium-234 after ejecting an alpha particle and gamma ray. The thorium-234 continues to decay through 13 more decay events, ultimately becoming lead-126.
Which type of decay does not result in the change of one element into another?
the loss of gamma radiations alone from an unstable heavy metal nucleus results in no change in masss number nor the atomic number
What is the range of gamma?
Gamma rays typically have frequencies above 1019 Hz, exhibiting energies above 100 keV and wavelength less than 10 picometers. Some gamma radiation, such as that from radioactive decay. may have energies of a few hundred keVto less than 10 MeV. Gamma rays from astronomical sources can be over 10 TeV.
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
