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 beta^(o+)`-decay
(c ) `A gamma`-decay (d) `A K`- capture process

A

An `alpha`-decay

B

`A gamma`-decay

C

`A K`-capture process

D

`A beta`-decay

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C

`gamma`particle is neutral while in `K`-capture electrical neutrality is maintained by capturing an electon from `K`-shell.
