Concept Introduction:
Gamma emission might occur alone or in performance with alpha or beta emission. By itself, the gamma emission results in no alteration in nuclear mass or charge.
Positron emission:
A proton in the nucleus is changed into a neutron and a positive electron (or positron). Positron emission effects in a decrease in atomic number of one, but no variation in atomic mass number.

- If you have a sample of unknown composition, a first step at analysis might be a determination of the masses of the atoms and molecules in the sample. A mass spectrometer to make such an analysis can take various forms, but for many years the best technique was to determine the masses of ionized atoms and molecules in a sample by observing their circular paths in a uniform magnetic field, as illustrated is shown. A sample to be analyzed is vaporized, then singly ionized. The ions are accelerated through an electric field, and ions of a known speed selected. These ions travel into a region of uniform magnetic field, where they follow circular paths. An exit slit allows ions that have followed a particular path to be counted by a detector, producing a record of the masses of the particles in the sample. The moving ions can be thought of as a current loop, and it will produce its own magnetic field. The direction of this field at the center of the particles’ circular orbit isA.
