Does this equation show that transmutation has taken place during decay? why or why not?

61/28 ni=61/28 ni + y

a. yes, because the numbers of nucleons and atoms are conserved

b. no, because high-energy electromagnetic waves are emitted

c. no, because there is conservation of the number of atoms as well as the number of nucleons

d. yes, because nickel atoms remain nickel atoms with the same number of neutrons

The equation is not a transmutation because there is conservation of the number of atoms as well as the number of nucleons; option C.

What is transmutation?

Transmutation refers to the artificial synthesis of new elements by a nuclear reaction of the original element and nuclear particles.

In transmutation, a new element is formed and the atomic number changes.

Based on the above, it can be concluded that the given equation is not a transmutation because there is no change in atomic and nucleon number.
