Gamma radiation excite electrons, it has no impact on the nucleolus of an atom. Therefore an irradiated molecule under goes a process similar to burning but does not acquire any radioactive properties.

The electromagnetic radiation that is emitted from radioactive elements is released in the form of .?

The electromagnetic radiation emitted from radioactive elements is released in the form of gamma rays. Gamma rays are high-energy photons that are produced during radioactive decay processes, such as alpha and beta decay. This radiation is highly penetrating and can travel significant distances through matter.
