1. Gamma decay: The process by which a nucleus emits a gamma ray (high-energy electromagnetic radiation) to become more stable.
2. Gamma ray: High-energy electromagnetic radiation with very short wavelengths and high frequencies.
3. Nucleus: The central part of an atom, containing protons and neutrons.
4. Energy levels: Specific energy levels that an atomic nucleus can occupy, determined by the arrangement of protons and neutrons.
5. Stability: The state of an atomic nucleus being in a lower energy state and releasing energy to achieve a more stable configuration.
6. Nuclear decay: The spontaneous process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy and/or mass to become more stable.
