Nitrogen is classified as an element in the 'Non-Metals' section which can be located in groups 14,15 and 16 of the Periodic Table. Non-metallic elements exist, at room temperature, in two of the three states of matter: gases (Oxygen, Hydrogen & Nitrogen) and solids (Carbon, Phosphorus, Sulfur and Selenium).
Gamma decay occurs when the nucleus undergoes an energy state change without actually changing the number or ratio of nucleons. . Technetium-99m (99mTc) is an example of such an atom. Its nucleus is the isomer of Technetium-99 (99Tc), and as an isomer, Technetium-99m rests at a higher energy state than the ground state Technetium-99.
