Oh no!! I don't know, whether should I call it as proton, neutron, electron or something else. To get this confusion removed I guess I should decide first whether gamma rays are consisting of particles or waves. read more
gamma rays are produce during the alpha and beta decay of heavy radioactive nuclei and this is not associated with electron proton and neutron.Gamma rays are the emission of high energy photons during the decay of nucleus of radioactive element. read more
As gamma rays are produced in nuclear activity of some sort, if might be argued that neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom that is undergoing some sort of nuclear change are the ones responsible for gamma rays. The electrons in an atom are in the electron cloud, and they are not involved with the release of gamma rays. read more
This is because gamma rays are not made of protons, neutrons and electrons. It's an electromagnetic radiation emitted during radioactive process in the form of light. Since light is a quanta called photons and photons have no charge, gamma rays are chargeless. read more
