Why neutron mass is greater of proton mass?
A neutron could split into a proton plus an electron during the radioactive decay..
A lone neutron spontaneously decays into a proton plus an?
A lone neutron spontaneously decays into a proton plus an electron plus an antineutrino (to carry off extra energy).
When a neutron decays into a proton the electron is emitted from the nucleus what is this kind of radioactivity called?
If an electron is released from the nucleus (and not from an electron shell) then it would have been emitted by a neutron in beta decay. In beta-minus decay, a neutral neutron emits an electron and an anti-neutrino and becomes a proton; in beta-plus decay, a proton emits a positron and a neutrino and becomes a neutron.
How many protons and nuetrons?
hey perhaps your question is incomplete. but if your question is what is protons and neutron relationship then a neutron plus a positive charge having mass equal to electron mass then proton forms.
Why does the atomic mass only add protons and neutrons?
The mass of an electron is very, very small compared to the mass of a proton and a neutron. The mass of the proton and the neutron are almost exactly the same. Thus, the mass of an entire atom is essential just the mass of the proton plus the mass of the neutron.
In beta Decay a neutron is converted into a proton and what?
In beta decay, the nucleus of the atom emits an electron. This is a new electron, not one of the electrons in the electron cloud. This does indeed have the effect of changing a neutron into a proton, because total charge has to be conserved - if a new negative thing exists, there has to be a new positive thing too. But the mass has to stay the same too - conveniently, protons and neutrons have almost the same mass.
What is the neutral part of an atom that gives the atom more mass?
Neutron. It is electrically neutral, and coincidentally about as massive as a proton plus an electron.
What particle has charge?
Neutron. A proton is positively charged, an electron is negatively charged, and a neutron has no charge and so it is neutral, hence the name. There's thoughts that it has no charge because it's actually made up of a proton and an electron, so a plus charge and negative charge would cancel out, leaving it neutral.
A beta particle is a what created and emitted from an unstable nucleus?
A beta particle is an electron or a positron emitted from an unstable nucleus during beta decay. Beta decay occurs when a neutron in the nucleus changes into a proton and emits either an electron (beta minus decay) or a positron (beta plus decay) to achieve a more stable configuration.
What are Beta particles have a charge?
Beta particles can have a positive or negative charge. In beta-minus decay, a neutron turns into a proton, emitting a beta-minus particle (electron) with a negative charge. In beta-plus decay, a proton transforms into a neutron, releasing a beta-plus particle (positron) with a positive charge.
Do protons and neutrons have nearly the same mass?
No, the proton and neutron don't have the same mass. A neutron is about 1.00138 times as heavy as a proton. The neutron is just a bit bigger, as you can see, and when a free neutron decays, it releases a proton and an electron. It might be said that a proton plus an electron equals a neutron, but you might not be able to get a physicist to say that. Links can be found below for more information.
What decay occurs when a nucleus emits an electron in the process of a proton decaying into a neutron?
The decay process you are referring to is called beta-plus decay, also known as positron emission. In this process, a proton within the nucleus transforms into a neutron by emitting a positron (anti-electron) and an electron neutrino. This results in a decrease of one in the atomic number of the nucleus while the mass number remains constant.
