When nucleus of an electrically neutral ...

When nucleus of an electrically neutral atom undergoes a radioactive decay process, it will remain neutral after the decay if the process is
(a) An `alpha`- decay (b) `A bete^(o+)`-decay
(c ) `A gamma`-decay (d) `A K`- caputure process

A

an `alpha` decay

B

an `beta ` + decay

C

a `gamma` decay

D

a K capture

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since `gamma`-particles are neutral, therefore, its decay will not change the charge of atom.
