What else can I help you with?
Does Gamma decay change the atomic number?
No, gamma decay does not change the atomic number of an atom. Gamma decay involves the release of high-energy electromagnetic radiation (gamma rays) from the nucleus of an atom, but it does not affect the number of protons in the nucleus, which determines the atomic number.
Why nucleus is a source of eletromagnetic radiation?
When the nucleus is unstable, one of the ways to reach stability is to emit electromagnetic radiation in the form of gamma rays.
What type of radiation from the nucleus is more penetrating than either alpha or beta particles?
Gamma radiation
How does the nucleus of an atom change after a gamma irradiation?
After gamma irradiation, the nucleus of an atom may undergo changes such as excitation or the emission of particles, but it typically does not undergo a transformation in its elemental identity. Gamma rays can impart energy to the nucleus, potentially causing it to enter an excited state. This excited state can lead to the emission of gamma radiation as the nucleus returns to a lower energy state. However, the overall composition of protons and neutrons in the nucleus generally remains unchanged unless accompanied by other forms of radiation, like alpha or beta decay.
Is Alpha Beta or gamma made from electrons?
Electrons are not directly involved in the creation of alpha, beta, or gamma radiation. Alpha radiation consists of helium nuclei (2 protons and 2 neutrons), beta radiation is made of electrons (beta-minus) or positrons (beta-plus), and gamma radiation is a high-energy electromagnetic radiation.
Does Gamma decay change the atomic number?
No, gamma decay does not change the atomic number of an atom. Gamma decay involves the release of high-energy electromagnetic radiation (gamma rays) from the nucleus of an atom, but it does not affect the number of protons in the nucleus, which determines the atomic number.
Which type of radiation is emitted from the nucleus at the velocity of light?
gamma
Why gamma radiation emitted in nucleus?
Gamma radiation is emitted by the nucleus when it transitions to a lower-energy state following an alpha or beta decay process. This high-energy electromagnetic radiation helps stabilize the nucleus by releasing excess energy and reaching a more stable configuration.
Is alpha and beta decay are almost always accompanied by what?
Alpha and beta decay are often accompanied by the emission of gamma radiation. Gamma radiation is a high-energy form of electromagnetic radiation that helps to stabilize the nucleus after alpha or beta decay.
Why nucleus is a source of eletromagnetic radiation?
When the nucleus is unstable, one of the ways to reach stability is to emit electromagnetic radiation in the form of gamma rays.
What type of radiation from the nucleus is more penetrating than either alpha or beta particles?
Gamma radiation
Can you puncture the nucleus without creating gamma radiation?
i dont know :D ;)
When a nucleus is made the missing mass is converted to what?
electromagnetic radiation (Gamma Rays, mostly)
What does gamma decay release?
Gamma decay releases high-energy gamma rays, which are a form of electromagnetic radiation. These gamma rays carry a significant amount of energy and are emitted from the atomic nucleus during gamma decay to help the nucleus transition to a more stable state.
What do you mean by radioactive?
An element that has an unstable nucleus and therefore emits alpha, beta and/or gamma radiation.
When a gamma ray is emitted by a necleus the nucleus then has appreciably less mass or charge?
When a gamma ray is emitted by a nucleus, neither the mass nor the charge of the nucleus changes. Gamma emission involves the release of energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, but it does not alter the fundamental properties of the nucleus such as mass or charge.
What is the symbol and charge of a gamma ray?
The symbol for a gamma ray is γ, and its charge is neutral (0). Gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted by the nucleus of an atom.
