How many protons and neutrons in gamma?

Answer 1

Gamma rays are electromagnetic (EM) energy, and they are at the extreme end of the EM spectrum above X-rays. These high energy, high frequency (short wavelength and short period) rays are created by atomic nuclei when atoms change their nuclear structure through radioactive (or nuclear) decay or when changing from a high energy state to a lower one. As gamma rays are produced in nuclear activity of some sort, if might be argued that neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom that is undergoing some sort of nuclear change are the ones responsible for gamma rays. The electrons in an atom are in the electron cloud, and they are not involved with the release of gamma rays.

Answer 2

A beta particle is a fast moving electron (if it is negative) or positron (if it is positive). There are no protons or neutrons.

There may be one electron OR one positron (one or the other, not both).

Answer 3

A gamma ray doesn't have any protons or neutrons as it is a high-energy photon, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation. So, a gamma ray doesn't have any subatomic particles typically found in an atomic nucleus.

Answer 4

None. Gamma is a form of electromagnetic radiation.
