Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

γ emission does not lead to transmutation in radioactive isotopes since it is a high-energy photon that does not involve the release of particles or atoms from the nucleus. α and β emissions both involve the release of particles from the nucleus, which can result in a change in the atomic number and identity of the isotope.
