When a nucleus in an atom undergoes a radioactive decay, the electronic energy levels of the atom.

A

do not change for any type of radioactivity

B

change for `alpha` and `beta`-radioactivity but not for `gamma`-radioactivity

C

change for `alpha`-radioactivity but not for others

D

change for `beta`-radioactivity but not for others

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Since atomic nuclear changes in `alpha` and `beta` decay, electronic configuration also changes.
