Example of neutral radioactivity

Asked by Ryan5170

Answer (1)

An example of neutral radioactivity is gamma decay (or gamma radiation).In gamma decay, an unstable nucleus releases energy by emitting a gamma photon (a high-energy electromagnetic wave), but no charged particles (like protons or electrons) are emitted. Because gamma rays have no charge and do not change the number of protons or neutrons in the nucleus, the atom remains the same element — it just loses excess energy.So gamma radiation is a good example of neutral radioactivity since it involves emission of neutral energy without altering the nucleus’s charge.
