- They are destroyed in "K capture" decay when a proton in the nucleus captures an electron, becoming a neutron.
- They are destroyed in matter-antimatter annihilation when they meet a positron, a gamma ray photon is emitted.

Can electrons produce energy?
no energy cannot be created or destroyed
Do the number of electrons for an ion differ from its neutral atom?
no it doesnt
When chemical reactions occur are atoms never ionized rearranged destroyed or vaporized?
Subatomic particles, that is neutrons , protons, and electrons are indeed never destroyed or created in chemical reactions.
What part of an atom is not involved in chemical reactions?
its neutons they are a part in which doesnt have charge electronically
A material that doesnt allow electrons to move through it easily is an?
insulator...as opposed to a conductor which does allow electrons to travel freely within it.
What can be transferred but not destroyed?
Without a bit more guidance on the specific topic, it's hard to know how to answer. You might say that energy is generally transferred and not destroyed, or that in chemistry electrons are transferred but not destroyed, or atoms in chemical reactions, or ...
What allows electricity to move through materials?
electricity doesnt move...its the electrons...rather free electrons in materrials that moves nd we call it as electric current
Why doesnt neon take or give electrons?
neon has completely filled orbitals, obeys octet and has stable electronic configuration. Hence it does not take or give electrons.
Why do electron and proton doesnt suck to each other?
Electrons and protons attract each other because electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge
Why doesnt the earth get bigger when the new crust is made?
Because the old one is destroyed. So it doesn't expand.
Where is the South Fork Dam?
It doesnt exist anymore. It was located in Johnstown, PA, but failed and destroyed the town in 1889.
Electricity is stored electrical charge electricity is the actual flow of electrons?
Electricity is the flow if electrons. Volts is the force per charge. Amps is the speed of the electrons. A battery acts like a pump pushing around electrons already in the wires so it doesnt provide them.
