which of the following represents gamma emission?
(Apex)

A. 228 89 Ac - 228 90 Th+B
B. 212 83 Bi - 212 84 Po+0-1e
C. 60 28 Ni - 60 28 Ni+y
D. 220 86 Rn - 216 84 Po+4 2 He

Respuesta :

Answer:

C.

[tex]_{28}^{60}\textrm{Ni}^*{\rightarrow }_{28}^{60}\textrm{Ni} +\gamma[/tex]

Explanation:

Gamma Emission  :

When a nucleus is excited , it become unstable .To gain stability it comes back to lower energy state by emitting high-energy electromagnetic radiation .This radiation is called gamma radiation.

Symbol :

[tex]\gamma[/tex] : Gamma

There is no change in mass number and atomic number during gamma emission

In A,B,D mass number or atomic number has changed, So no Gamma emission take place.

Answer:

C. 60 28 Ni - 60 28 Ni+y.
