Does the atomic number of the electron when the atom get converted into catayon and anayon?

The atomic number of an atom does not change if the atom is converted into an anion or cation. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, and this is not affected by the transfer of electrons that produces ionization of an atom.

What does the atomic mass of an electron represent?
The mass of an electron is atomic mass units is 5,485 799 090 70(16); the mass of the electron is not an atomic mass.
What is a electron cloud?
An electron cloud is an atomic orbital.
What is an electron's atomic mass number?
The electron has no atomic mass number. The mass of an electron is roughly 1/1800 of the mass of a proton or neutron.
What is the atomic mass of an electron?
an electron is about 1/1836 amu.
Is there a correlation of electron affinities to atomic radii?
The relation between electron affinity and atomic radius is inversely proportional.
What is the electron configuration of atomic number 26?
The electron configuration of iron, atomic number 26, is [Ar]3d64s2. The expanded electron configuration is 1s22s22p63s23p63d64s2.
How do you find the isotope in alpha and beta decay?
In Beta- decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, and an electron and electron anti-neutrino are emitted. The Atomic Number goes up by one, and the Atomic Mass Number stays the same. For instance, 6C14 becomes 7N14 plus one electron and one electron anti-neutrino. In Beta+ decay, a proton is converted into a neutron, and a positron and electron neutrino is emitted. The Atomic Number goes down by one, and the Atomic Mass Number stays the same. For instance, 6C11 becomes 5B11 plus one positron and one electron neutrino. Isotopes that decay by Beta+ decay also tend to decay by Electron Capture, a process where an inner K shell electron is absorbed by the nucleus, changing a proton into a neutron and emitting a neutrino. The isotope conversion process would be the same as for Beta+, above. In Alpha decay, a Helium nucleus (two protons and two neutrons) are emitted. The Atomic Number goes down by two, and the Atomic Mass Number goes down by four. For instance, 92U238 becomes 90Th234 plus one Helium nucleus
What is the atomic mass or weight of an electron?
electron mass = 9.10938188 × 10-31 kilograms = 0.000548579867 atomic mass units
What is and electron?
An electron is a sub-atomic particle with an electrical charge of -1
What heappens to an atom that experiences radioactive decay?
Electron capture is the absorption of an electron by an atomic nucleus if that nucleus is neutron poor. An electron is captured, usually from an inner electron shell of that atom, and it will convert a proton in the nucleus into a neutron. We know that a neutron is converted into a proton and an electron in neutron decay, so it might be looked at as something of an opposite nuclear reaction where a proton and an electron combine to form a neutron.
What Atomic particle with a negative charge is called what?
It is called a(n) Electron.
About the electron configuration?
Electron configuration for an atom is the distribution of electrons on atomic orbitals.
