When an unstable nucleus produces an beta particle by how many units does the atomic number of the nucleus change?
The atomic number decreases by one for each beta particle
Is radium identical to an alpha particle?
No. Radium is a heavy metal, atomic number 88 (with 88 protons). An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, atomic number 2. Radium decays by each atom emitting an alpha particle, becoming Radon gas, atomic nubmer 86.
What particle of an atoms tells us how to find the atomic number?
the number of protons in each atom
Can you use the atomic number and atomic mass to calculate the number of each subatomic particle?
atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons atomic mass = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
What is it called when the neutron's and protons are different?
Neutrons and protons both are located at the atomic nucleus. Protons carry +1 charge each. Neutrons carry no charge.
Each fundamental atomic particle has an opposite particle A collision of these opposites will result in the annihilation of each particle These types of particles are referred to as?
Anti-matter. Antimatter.

Can you use the atomic number and atomic mass to calculate the number of each subatomic particle?
atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons atomic mass = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
What are the three atomic particles and the charge of each particle?
Neutron - no charge, Proton +1, Electron -1
What is the number of each subatomic particle for californium?
Californium has 98 protons and electrons. 98 is the atomic number of californium. Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - atomic number of the element
What specific properties of metals accounts for their unusaul electrical conductivity?
the number of electrons in the outer shell of each atomic particle.
What number of each sub atomic particle would you find in the Se-80?
34 protons 34 electrons 46 neutrons
Each fundamental atomic particle has an opposite particle. A collision of these opposites will result in the annihilation of each particle. What are these types of particles called?
Anti-particles. In the case of the (normal negatively-charged) electron, the anti-particle has a specific name; the positron. Since normal particles are the building blocks of matter, a collection of anti-particles are termed "anti-matter".
How do you figure out the subatomic particle numbers for each element?
Number of protons= Atomic number Number of neutrons= Mass number-Atomic number Number of electrons=Number of protons (If there is no charge on the atom)
What is it called when the neutron's and protons are different?
Neutrons and protons both are located at the atomic nucleus. Protons carry +1 charge each. Neutrons carry no charge.
