What types of particles does gamma radiation release?

Gamma radiation releases electromagnetic particles called gamma rays. These are high-energy photons that travel at the speed of light and have no mass or charge. They are the most penetrating type of radiation.

Differentiate gamma rays from alpha particles?

Gamma rays are very high energy Photons. Whereas, alpha particles are Helium nuclei.


What particles give off high energy?

Radionuclide or radioisotope is a substance that give off high energy particles or rays as it disintegrates. They emit three types of radioactivity is alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays.

What is the decay that releases only energy no particles called?

That is gamma decay, which is caused by a change in energy levels within a nucleus, but which does not result in any change to the number of protons or neutrons. A nucleus of one particular isotope can have different energy levels, these are called isomers of that isotope. The gamma radiation is electromagnetic, similar to x-rays but a higher frequency and hence higher energy.
