Respuesta :
Gamma decay is a type of radioactivity in which an unstable atomic nucleus dissipates energy by gamma emission, producing gamma rays. gamma decay in Science Expand. gamma decay. A radioactive process in which an atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting a gamma ray (a stream of high-energy photons).
Answer: The gamma decay is represented below.
Explanation:
Gamma decay is defined as the process in which an unstable nuclei gives off excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process and thus releases [tex]\gamma -radiations[/tex]. These radiations does not carry any charge and are electrically neutral.
The chemical equation representing gamma decay process follows:
[tex]_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma[/tex]
where,
[tex]_Z^A\textrm{X}^*[/tex] = unstable nuclei
[tex]_Z^A\textrm{X}[/tex] = stable nuclei
[tex]_0^0\gamma[/tex] = gamma particle
Hence, the gamma decay reaction is given below.
