B)beta emission
C)electron capture
D)gamma emission

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gamma emission is a form of electromagnetic radiation that does not involve the transmutation of one element to another. It is simply the release of excess energy from a nucleus in an excited state. Alpha emission, beta emission, and electron capture all involve the conversion of one element into another through changes in the number of protons and/or neutrons in the nucleus.
