It would become vandium, iron, titanium or maganese depending on the amount of decay and the half-life of chromium

The least energetic of the forms of radioactive decay is ______?
alpha decay
What do unstable isotopes become when they decay?
stable nuclei are formed, usually accompanied by the release of Alpha, Beta, Gamma radiation.
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
When cesium-137 undergoes beta minus decay what new element is formed?
Cs-137 decays to become the metastable element Ba-137m which has a half-life of only 2 minutes 55 and then it eventually becomes Barium-137. The nucleus undergoes a transition in which one of the neutrons becomes a proton which moves it up on the periodic table one place to become Barium-137. During this process is gives off a photon (gamma) with an energy level of approximately 662 keV.
Which form of radioactive decay consists of photons?
Gamma rays.
When an atom undergoes radioactive decay does it become a different element?
That depends on the type of decay, alpha and beta decay change the atom into a different element but gamma decay does not.
When an unstable magnesium nucleus undergoes gamma decay the nucleus formed is that of what?
Magnesium
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.
What is a nucleus that is unstable and undergoes decay?
Atomic nuclei that are unstable and decaying are said to be radioactive. Radioactive decay involves alpha, beta and gamma particle emissions.
What is the decay process that polonium undergoes?
All isotopes of polonium can undergo alpha decay, a small number of isotopes can also undergo beta decay, K capture decay, or gamma decay.
When one neptunium isotope undergoes an alpha decay what does it become?
Npn decays to Pan-4 and alpha. Only isotopes 234, 235, and 237 of neptunium can undergo alpha decay, the others decay by beta-, beta+, K capture, and/or gamma decay. So the only products of neptunium alpha decay can be protactinium isotopes 230, 231, or 233.
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
When a nucleus undergoes nuclear decay by gamma rays the atomic number of the element?
nothing, the nucleus just relaxes to a lower energy state that is more stable
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.
