Does Beta radiation decrease the atomic number of the atom?
yes it can
What are the types of radiation that affects the atomic number and the mass number of an atom?
We make atomic number by number of protons in a atom. We make mass number by total of both protons and neutrons.
What is the atomic number of an atomic indicate?
Atomic number of an atom shows the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. OR Atomic number of an atom is the number of electrons in the atom when the atom neutrally charged
What happens to the atomic number when an alpha particle is given off?
Alpha emission in an atom reduces its atomic number by two. A link can be found below to the related question about what alpha decay is.
What is the atomic number of in atom?
atomic number is how much protons(positive atom) and neutrons(neutral atom) are there in an element. therefore an atom does not have an atomic number
What is the change in the atomic number when an atom emits gamma radiation?
The atomic number does not change when gamma radiation is emitted.
What happens to the atomic number of an atom undergoing alpha decay?
The atomic number of an atom undergoing alpha decay decreases by 2. Not asked, but answered for completeness, the atomic mass number decreases by 4.

What can you determine about an atom based on its Atomic Radius?
the further right you go on the periodic table, the atomic radius decreases. the further down you go on the periodic table, the atomic radius increases. you can determine where an atom is generally placed on the periodic table based on its atomic radius.
As you travel down a group the do atomic size increases or decreases?
it increases: for the atomic number indicates the number of protons and neutrons in the atom; these are the weight carrying particles
The atomic number is the number of an atom?
The atomic number is the number of _____ an atom
What happens to the atomic number when an alpha particle is given off?
Alpha emission in an atom reduces its atomic number by two. A link can be found below to the related question about what alpha decay is.
Why do atom size decreases in periods instead of increasing due to protonic repulsion?
As we move across the period, there is an increase in the atomic number i.e., there is an increase in the number of protons inside the nucleus. This means, there is more nuclear force. This nuclear force pulls the electron orbits as close as it can. thus, the radius of the atom decreases. Hence the atomic size decreases.
What is the atomic number of in atom?
atomic number is how much protons(positive atom) and neutrons(neutral atom) are there in an element. therefore an atom does not have an atomic number
What atomic number of an atom is?
The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons in its nucleus.
