The type of atom is only changed if the proton number changes. Change in neutrons create an isotope, change in electrons create an ion and the change in protons change the atom (Hydrogen to Helium for example). Gamma radiation is the emission of a photon, of pure energy, it is neither positive or negative and it has nothing to do with the protons.
What else can I help you with?
Which type of radiation produces a wave and a lot of energy?
Gamma radiation is a type of nuclear radiation made of high energy waves.
What type of em radiation has shortest wavelength and most energy?
Gamma radiation
What type of radiation is emitted from Iridium-192?
The radiation emited is gamma ray
Which type of radiation is emmitted by cobalt-60?
gamma
Which type of radiation is difficult to stop?
Gamma radiation is difficult to stop because it is the most penetrative type of radiation and can pass through thick barriers such as walls and concrete. Lead and thick layers of dense materials are effective in stopping gamma radiation.
How much does an atom's mass change when it emits gamma radiation?
An atom's mass does not change when it emits gamma radiation. Gamma radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation with no mass or charge, so the total mass of the atom remains constant. The energy and momentum carried by the gamma radiation may cause the atom to recoil, but the mass of the atom itself does not change.
Which electromagnetic waves are produced during some nuclear reactions?
During nuclear reactions, gamma rays are produced as a form of electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays are the most energetic and penetrating type of electromagnetic radiation, and they are produced when the nucleus of an atom undergoes a change.
Nuclear decay is the change of an atom of...?
... an unstable isotope to a more stable isotope by emission of some type of radiation (alpha, beta, or gamma).
What type of radiation is the most harmful?
Gamma radiation.
What type of radiation does radioactivity produces?
The Type Of Radiation That It Produce Is The Gamma Ray!
What best represents gamma emission?
Gamma emission is best represented by the release of high-energy electromagnetic radiation from the nucleus of an atom. This type of radiation has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum, making it the most penetrating form of radiation. Gamma emission commonly occurs during radioactive decay processes.
Which type of radiation produces a wave and a lot of energy?
Gamma radiation is a type of nuclear radiation made of high energy waves.
Which type of radiation can penetrate penetrate deepest into exposed materials?
gamma
What material stops gamma radiation and how effective is it in shielding against this type of radiation?
Lead is a common material that effectively stops gamma radiation. It is highly effective in shielding against this type of radiation due to its density and ability to absorb and block the gamma rays.
Is gamma not considered a type of radiation ray?
Actually, gamma is the ONLY type of radiation ray. Since the three types of radiation are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays, and the other two are particles, technically, gamma rays are the only radiation rays. If that is not what you are looking for, then I recommend rephrasing your question.
Which type of radiation has no mass or charge?
Free radiation I suppose. But gamma radiation, is charge free. As is UV, IR, ... ..
What type of radiation is the hardest to shield against?
Gamma radiation is the hardest type of radiation to shield against because it has high energy and penetrates most materials easily. Dense materials such as lead and concrete are commonly used to shield against gamma radiation.
