Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gamma emission does not result in transmutation to another element. Gamma emission occurs when a nucleus is in an excited state and releases energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation without changing its atomic number or mass number. Alpha emission, positron decay, and electron capture all result in transmutation to another element.
