In this lesson, we will learn how to describe the process of unstable atoms decaying to a lower energy state by emitting high-energy gamma rays.
Q1:
When an atomic nucleus emits a gamma ray, by how much does the charge of the nucleus change?
Q2:
When an atomic nucleus emits a gamma ray, by how much does the mass number of the nucleus change?
Q3:
When an atomic nucleus emits a gamma ray, by how much does the atomic number of the nucleus change?
