O gamma O alpha

Explanation / Answer

alpha particle emmision will bring about maximum change in mass number & atomic number. When an alpha particle is emitted from a nucleus the nucleus loses two protons and two neutrons. This means the atomic mass number decreases by 4 and the atomic number decreases by 2.

Gamma radiation will not change either the mass number or the atomic number.
