What value of Z (atomic number)and A (mass number)result in the following gamma decay? $${ } _ { 6 } ^ { 12 } \mathrm { C } \rightarrow { } _ { z } ^ { A } \mathrm { X } + \gamma$$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In gamma decay, the atomic number (Z) and mass number (A) remain unchanged. Therefore, the resulting element X will have the same Z and A as the original element, which is carbon-12 (Z=6, A=12).
