Is it electron decay ?
OpenStudy (abhisar):
@BEATZDJ can u help ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It is gamma decay
OpenStudy (anonymous):
There is no such thing as electron decay.
OpenStudy (abhisar):
It is a hypothesis

and it emits particles like neutrino
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Gamma Decay is an unstable atomic nucleus dissipates energy by gamma emission, producing gamma rays.
OpenStudy (abhisar):
Anyways, answer will be gamma decay..as it emits gamma rays..which is a form of energy and not particle....."IF U DON CONSIDER DUAL NATURE OF LIGHT"
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Wait...are you talking about electron decay? It is not one of the main decays so I don't think electron decay is.
OpenStudy (abhisar):
yes it is not among the three fundamental decays u study in some classes....but it is a hypothetical decay

I see @Abhisar
OpenStudy (anonymous):
True
OpenStudy (dulljackel09):
XD you both are wrong its alpha decay
OpenStudy (abhisar):
How ?
Alpha decay produces a alpha particle and an with a mass number less than 4
