What will happen to an atom is an beta particles emits or adds?

The beta particle will alter the electromagnetic field of the atom. An electron will add to the electromagnetic charge if emitted, and subtract from, if it is absorbed. A positron will do the opposite. The atomic nucleus will also change. an electron can convert a neutron to a proton if emitted, and a proton to a neutron if absorbed. The positron, again, will do the opposite.

What happens to atoms and their electrons while the entity emits light?
The electrons of the atom move closer to the nucleus while the atom emits light.
What would happen if an atom should form from its constituent particles?
Matter is lost and energy is released.
What does the absorption spectrum of an atom show?
The absorption spectrum of an atom shows that the atom emits that spectrum which it absorbs.
Over time what will happend to the nucleus of a radioactive atom If a radioactive atom emits an alpha particles them what is it emitting?
Alpha particle is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, i.e., two protons and two neutrons bound together. If an atom emits an alpha particle, it will have two protons less, and two neutrons less. Over time, there may be additional decay, which may further change the number of protons and neutrons.
What is happening within the hydrogen atom to create emission lines?
The electron in the atom becomes excited as something adds energy to it, moving it to a higher energy level. When the electron moves back to the normal energy level, called a ground state, it emits light of a given frequency.
What will happen to an atom is an alpha particles emits or adds?
Alpha particles are emitted from the atom taking with it 2 protons and (I am pretty sure) two neutrons. This will change the atomic number of the atom and the atomic weight.
Does radioactive mean in science?
The atoms structure is unstable and it emits alpha or beta particles that changes the Atom

When an atom of 16N emits beta what does it make?
16O

What is an unstable atom that emits energy called?
This is a radioactive isotope.
Are electrons the positively charged particles in an atom?
In an atom of antimatter, that would be true, in an atom of matter that would be false.
What are the names of the particles in the atom?
The 3 Particles in a atom are * Proton * Neutron * Electron
What difference between atom and subatomic?
thesubatomic particles are the particles smaller than an atom
