Question
Which option correctly compares beta decay(a particle) and gamma decay (pure energy)?(1 point)

The correct response that accurately compares beta decay and gamma decay is:
**Beta decay releases a particle, while gamma decay only reduces the energy level. Neither beta decay nor gamma decay is a form of nuclear fission.**
In beta decay, a neutron is transformed into a proton (or vice versa), resulting in the emission of an electron (beta particle) or a positron. In contrast, gamma decay involves the release of energy in the form of gamma radiation, which does not produce particles and primarily serves to remove excess energy from the nucleus without changing the number of protons or neutrons. Neither process involves the splitting of nuclei, which characterizes nuclear fission.
