Hi There!

How do the mass number and charge of a nucleus change when it emits a gamma ray?

The charge doesn't change as a result of emitting a photon (which is what a gamma ray is). The mass does change by a small amount (due to the energy-mass equivalence relationship; a photon has no rest mass, but does have energy), but not by enough to make any real difference in the mass number.

Hi,Mykayla647!
The mass number and charge do not change because Gamma rays have no charge or mass.
I hope this helps;)
