If a nucleus decays by gamma decay to a daughter nucleus, which of the following statements about this decay are correct? (there may be more than one correct choice.)

a)the daughter nucleus has fewer protons than the original nucleus.

b)the daughter nucleus has the same number of nucleons as the original nucleus.

c)the daughter nucleus has more protons than the original nucleus.

d)the daughter nucleus has fewer neutrons than the original nucleus. the daughter nucleus has more neutrons than the original nucleus

Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A gamma particle is basically a photon of electromagnetic radiation with a short wavelength.

Symbol of a gamma particle is . Hence, charge on a gamma particle is also 0.

For example,

So, when a nucleus decays by gamma decay to a daughter nucleus then there will occur no change in the number of protons and neutrons of the parent atom but there will be loss of energy as a nuclear reaction has occurred.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement daughter nucleus has the same number of nucleons as the original nucleus., is correct about if  a nucleus decays by gamma decay to a daughter nucleus.

i was thinking more like reflects green light, just not sure

freezing

deposition

condensation

explanation;

melting also called fusion is the process where solid becomes liquid, sublimation is the process where solid becomes gaseous without first changing to liquid, deposition involves change from gaseous to solid state, freezing involves change from liquid to solid, boiling or evaporation involves change of liquid to gaseous state, while condensation is the change from gaseous state to liquid state.

endothermic reactions involves absorption of heat from the surroundings or the environment while exothermic reactions involves loss of heat energy to the surroundings.

in this case, sublimation, evaporation and melting are endothermic reactions (gain energy from the environment) while, freezing, deposition and condensation are exothermic (loss of energy to the surroundings) reactions.
