I am verifying the answers generated by an automatic system to the following question: what form of decay does not change the atomic number of them decaying atom?
Suggested answer: A decay, or loss of energy, results when an atom with one type of nucleus, called the parent radionuclide , transforms to an atom with a nucleus in a different state, or to a different nucleus containing different numbers of protons and neutrons .
Should I validate this answer?
