  • Question
  • In the gamma decay of a nucleus


  • Options
  • A. the mass number of the nucleus changes whereas its atomic number does not change
  • B. the mass number of the nucleus does not change whereas its atomic number changes
  • C. both the mass number and the atomic number of the nucleus change
  • D. neither the mass number nor the atomic number of the nucleus changes

  • Correct Answer
  • neither the mass number nor the atomic number of the nucleus changes 

    Explanation

    The emission of gamma rays does not alter the number of protons or neutrons in the nucleus but instead has the effect of moving the nucleus from a higher to a lower energy state (unstable to stable)
