Question

Which form of emission is commonly not written in nuclear equations because they do not affect charges, atomic numbers, or mass numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

Gamma radiation .

Explanation:

Three types of emission result at the time of nuclear emission .

alpha emission

Beta emission

Gamma radiation emission

Gamma radiation results in the emission of gamma ray . This is a very high frequency radiation . It is not a particle having charge and mass like alpha and beta emission . So it has no effect on the mass and charge of the product that is formed after gamma radiation . The only effect it has on the product is that it reduces the kinetic energy of the emitting particles or it reduces the internal energy of the product . It causes negligible change in the mass of the product and no change in the charge of the product.

That is why , generally this product is not written in the nuclear reaction .
