What happens to an atom when they emit beta radiation?
nothing (_*_)When a nucleus emits a beta particle, it loses one of its neutrons and gains one proton. Hence, it's mass and atomic number remain the same but its charge and proton number is increased by +1.^Excerpts from above:"...nucleus...gains one proton...""...atomic number remain the same...."The mass number remains the same because the neutron decays into a proton with the release of a beta particle. However, since one proton is gained, the atomic number also increases by 1. It does not remain the same like the mass number. Since the atomic number increased (the nucleus gained a positively charged proton), the charge does increase by +1.Read more: What_happens_to_a_nucleus_when_it_emits_a_beta_particle
Is the result of the colliding with atoms as current flows in a material?
Let us stick on to the principle of conservation of energy. Electron being driven by the electric field gains kinetic energy. But when an electron gets into the field of the positive nucleus its potential energy is denoted with negative sign. This means that it gives out energy to the surroundings in the form of heat. So when the drifted electrons collide with the nucleus of the atoms heat is produced. This is known to be joule's heating effect.
What happens to the neutrally charged object if it gains electrons?
It gains electrons!
What happens to matter when it gains kinetic energy?
When an object gains kinetic energy, it moves faster.
An atom that gains an electron gains what type of ion?
an atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion, called an anion.
What element is created when oxygen gains a proton?
Fluorine
How isotopes produced?
An isotope can be produced if a nucleus gains a neutron or if one of the protons in its nucleus decays into a neutron and positron.
How is isotope produced?
An isotope can be produced if a nucleus gains a neutron or if one of the protons in its nucleus decays into a neutron and positron.
What is the difference between an atom an isotope and an ion?
an ion is when an element loses or gains one or more electrons. an isotope is when a element loses or gains one or more neutrons. when one or more proton(s) is/are gained or lost, it becomes a different element.
Why a hydrogen atom can become either an ion or a part of a molecule?
Hydrogen only has one proton ,so it can pass that one proton onto another element, making it part of a molecule. It can become an ion if it loses that proton, or gains that proton.
How is it possible that the elements get smaller as you move left to right across a period on thetable?
Each element from left to right gains a proton, which increases the pull of the nucleus on it's electrons. Each element also gains an electron, but the electrons are added to the same or a lower energy level..only when you go down a group do the number of energy levels increase. This pull of the nucleus causes the atomic radius to decrease because the electrons are pulled in tighter by the stronger nucleus. As you go down, atoms get bigger because of added energy levels. Energy levels on the outside are shielded from the nucleus by electrons on inner levels, so they range further away from the nucleus.
When an element's nucleus changes to that of a new element it is called?
This is called either nuclear fission, when the element loses a proton, or nuclear fusion, when the element gains a proton.Ans 2.It is called a nuclear reaction. Nuclear reactions tend to each have a name which is specific to that reactionalpha decay - the nucleus emits an alpha particle. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.beta decay - the nucleus emits an electron, and one of its neutrons becomes a proton OR the nucleus emits a positron and one of its protons becomes a neutron.Beta capture - the nucleus captures an electron, with a proton becoming a neutron OR captures a positron, with a neutron becoming a protonnuclear fission - the nucleus splits into two pieces, and emits one or more neutrons. The two pieces are more or less random, and generally of different sizes to each other. Strictly speaking not what the question asked for, because it turned into two elements rather than one.Nuclear fusion - two nuclei are slammed together violently, and become one. Again, not really what the question had in mind.

An acid that forms when a base gains a proton?
conjugate acid
Is a conjugate acid formed when a base gains a proton?
yes
What happens when an atom gains or loses a neutron?
If this were to happen, which for most nuclei would be unbelievably unlikely, it would form a different isotope of the same element. I can't offhand think of any way a nucleus could gain or lose a neutron without something else happening at the same time. A neutron can change into a proton by emitting an electron (and an electron antineutrino), or a proton can absorb an electron and change into a neutron, but in both of these cases there's more going on than just the neutron number of the nucleus changing.
Does a weak acid gain a proton?
No, an acid, weak or strong, donates a proton. It is a base that gains one.
