Nothing, if the nucleus emits a gamma-ray it means something has happened to it already.
The Mössbauer effect is limited to low-energy gamma rays because higher energy gamma rays would cause the whole crystal lattice to recoil, preventing the resonant absorption of the gamma ray by the nucleus. Low-energy gamma rays are needed to allow the nucleus to absorb the gamma ray without causing significant lattice vibration.
When an atom loses a gamma ray, it transitions to a lower energy state by releasing a high-energy photon. This process is known as gamma decay and the atom becomes more stable after losing the energy in the form of gamma radiation.
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.
When a nucleus emits a gamma ray photon, it releases high-energy electromagnetic radiation. This process is known as gamma decay, and it typically occurs after alpha or beta decay has taken place. Gamma rays have no mass or charge and are highly penetrating, which makes them useful in various fields such as medicine, industry, and research.
The vocabulary term for a high energy photon resulting from the redistribution of charge within the nucleus is "gamma ray." Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation with high energy levels that are emitted during nuclear reactions or radioactive decay processes.

Neither changes. A gamma ray is just energy, and the nucleus simply transitions to a lower energy state.

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.

Gamma rays.
Emission of a gamma ray does not change the atomic number of the atom. A gamma ray is a photon, and has no mass. The atom's mass is reduced by the conversion of a tiny amount of mass into the energy of the gamma ray. This changes neither the number of protons nor the number of neutrons. It is done by rearranging the nucleons, changing the state of excitation of the nucleus. An example is when 99mTc emits a gamma ray and changes to 99Tc.

The emission of a gamma ray changes neither the mass number nor the atomic number of a nucleus. An example of an equation for gamma emission is: 99mTc --> 99Tc + gamma The "m" associated with the mass number indicates a metastable nuclear isomer.
The vocabulary term for a high energy photon resulting from the redistribution of charge within the nucleus is "gamma ray." Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation with high energy levels that are emitted during nuclear reactions or radioactive decay processes.
Gamma rays are emitted during radioactive decay processes in which the nucleus releases excess energy. This can happen after alpha or beta decay has occurred, leaving the nucleus in an excited state. The emission of gamma rays allows the nucleus to transition to a more stable state by releasing high-energy photons.
