False. Gamma rays are just very high frequency light with no mass or charge. Betta rays, being electrons emitted from the neutrons in the nucleus increase the atomic#. Alpha rays, being helium Nuclei. decrease the mass by four and the atomic # by two.

Gamma ray emission is due to the nucleons moving to lower energy levels but changes none of there other properties. The atomic mass and number stay the same after gamma emission.

Hi:
The answer is false when a atom emit es gamma ray it is splitting in two to because two different atoms any book on atomic or nuclear physics will tell you this
