When an isotope undergoes beta decay which of the following does not change A the atomic number B the name of the element C the mass number D all of these change?
The mass number does not change.
Which of the following determines the identity of an element atomic number mass number atomic mass or overall change?
atomic number
What is the change in an mass number after alpha decay?
The mass number decreases by 4 and the atomic number decreases by 2.
How does the emission of an alpha particle change the mass number of a parent nuclide?
Mass number of the parent nucleus will be reduced by 4
How does beta radiation affect the nucleus?
The end result of beta- decay is that a neutron is converted into a proton, increasing the atomic number while keeping the atomic mass number the same. The end result of beta+ decay is that a proton is converted into a neutron, decreasing the atomic number while keeping the atomic mass number the same.
What do you get when you change the mass number of an atom?
You can't change the mass number of an atom because the mass number is the number of protons which is the atom's atomic number I hope this helped :)

The mass number does not change.
How does the emission of an alpha particle change the mass number of the parent nuclide?
The mass number decrease with 4.
Which of the following determines the identity of an element atomic number mass number atomic mass or overall change?
atomic number
What is the change in an mass number after alpha decay?
The mass number decreases by 4 and the atomic number decreases by 2.
What type of nuclear decay results in the atomic number increasing by one with no change in mass?
Beta- decay result in an increase of atomic number by one, with no resulting change in the atomic mass number.There is a change in mass, since an electron and an electron anti-neutrino is emitted, and also because the neutron changes into a proton, but the atomic mass number, per se, does not change.
What does a transmutation reaction always have to involve?
Transmutation always involves a change in the number of protons in the atom, which changes the atomic number and the element of the atom. It also involves at least some slight change in the mass of the atom (but not necessarily the mass number, which is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons, and not the same as the actual mass).
How does the emission of an alpha particle change the mass number of a parent nuclide?
Mass number of the parent nucleus will be reduced by 4
What are the properties of elements dependent on?
because when mass number will change then the whole atom will change.
What changes in atomic number and mass number occur in beta emission?
Electron (beta minus) decay: the atomic mass remain approx. constant, the atomic number will be greater with 1 Positron (beta plus) and electron capture decay: the atomic mass remain approx. constant, the atomic number decrease with 1 Double beta decay: the atomic mass remain approx. constant, the atomic number will be greater with 2
Does the atomic number changes when an ion is formed?
No, the atomic number does not change when an ion is formed. The number of protons does not change when an ion is formed, so the atomic mass would not change.
How does beta radiation affect the nucleus?
The end result of beta- decay is that a neutron is converted into a proton, increasing the atomic number while keeping the atomic mass number the same. The end result of beta+ decay is that a proton is converted into a neutron, decreasing the atomic number while keeping the atomic mass number the same.
