Answer:see image attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Kr-85 turns spontaneously into a Rubidium nucleus by emitting a beta particle and a gamma ray. The rubidium nucleus has the same mass as the krypton nucleus. The gamma rays carries off the excess energy released. It is actually a photon of light. A beta particle is actually an electron. A lot of energy is usually released in this process.
