A beta number is a calculayion that helps to measure the level of risk in investing a stock by comparing its growth with that of the overall market.

What happens when U-235 emits a beta particle?

beta decay results from the transformation of a neutron in the nucleus to a proton (+ charge) and an electron (beta particle). The proton remains in the nucleus increasing the atomic number by one (mass number remains the same) while the electron is emitted as a beta particle. So, U-235 of atomic number 92 changes to Neptunium with atomic number 93. However, to my knowledge, U-235 decays by gamma not beta. U-236 decays by beta to Neptunium-236.


What is the radioactive decay of an atom resulting in the decrease in the atomic number with no charge in the atomic mass called?

It is called beta decay. there are two types: 1) posive beta decay in which atomic number decreases. 2) negative beta decay in which atomic number increases.

How is the atomic number of a nucleus change is it by alpha decay or beta decay or gamma decay?

Alpha decay decreases the atomic number by two. Beta- decay increases the atomic number by one. Beta+ decay decreases the atomic number by one. Gamma decay does not change the atomic number. However, gamma decay is often incidental to a precipitating alpha or beta event that upsets the energy equilibrium in the nucleus, so the two are not unrelated.

What happens to the atomic number of an element if it emits 1 alpha particle and 3 beta particles?

It depends on whether the beta decay is beta- or beta+. The alpha emission reduces the atomic number by 2. Beta- increases the atomic number by 1 while beta+ decreases the atomic number by 1. You do the math.
