A neucleas of an atom will become electricaly neutral becoze when it emits gamma radiations,gamma rays are neutral,it means that an atom will emit neutrons from neucleas,protons(positively charged pariicles)will cancel out electrons (negetively charged pareicles)& atom will become electrically neutral.
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
gamma radiation
When a nucleus comes apart, it gives off energy in the form of radiation, such as gamma rays, alpha particles, or beta particles. This release of energy is often accompanied by a decrease in the mass of the nucleus due to the conversion of mass into energy.
Free radiation I suppose. But gamma radiation, is charge free. As is UV, IR, ... ..
Technetium primarily emits gamma radiation, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation with high energy and penetrating power. Additionally, technetium-99m, a common radioisotope of technetium used in medical imaging, emits low-energy gamma radiation suitable for imaging purposes.
prompt (at time of explosion) - neutron, gamma, x-ray, UV, visible, thermal (IR), some radio.delayed (fallout) - beta, gamma, some alpha.Types of radiation called "ionizing radiation" - alpha, beta, gamma, x-ray, neutron.
no, gamma isn't really decay as the radioactive ion doesn't emit any particles. In alpha and beta decay, different size particles are emitted as the nucleus decays but in gamma radiatio the ion gives off an ionising electromagnetic wave.
Gamma radiation is the emission of an photon from the nucleus with energy relative to the energy step that the nucleus takes in coming down from an excited state down to either an intermediate state or to the ground state.
You get a different atom. This happens to 238Uranium as it gives off alpha radiation (two protons and two neutrons).The Alpha particle is essentially a Helium nucleus. The substance remaining is no longer 238Uranium but has become 234Thorium.
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.
Gamma rays give off more energy than infrared waves. Gamma rays have the highest frequency and shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum, making them the most energetic type of radiation. In contrast, infrared waves have longer wavelengths and lower energy levels.
It gives off a range of electromagnetic radiation of shorter wavelengths.
