GAMMA DECAY

This is a one kind of nuclear fission a nucleus may encounter. Through all the release of electromagnetic waves, an atom undergoes gamma decay when it transitions out of a greater energy level to a lower level of energy (photons). The parents and offspring elements are both of the same chemical substance since this procedure does not alter the number of atoms in the nucleus.
