Problem

In a laboratory observation, 1122Na^{22}_{11}\text{Na} decays to an excited 1022Ne∗^{22}_{10}\text{Ne}^{*} nucleus, which promptly emits a γ photon. (i) Identify the decay mode that converts sodium-22 to the excited neon-22. (ii) Name the two particles, other than the γ photon, that are emitted in this first step to satisfy conservation laws.
