The number of energy levels increase within a group. Therefor the atomic radius increases. So the atomic volume also increases.

The atomic radius also increases in a group.For metals, reactivity increases down the group. For non-metals, reactivity decreases down a group.

Why does an atomic number increase?

If you mean looking at the next element on the table then the mass would increase. However, the atomic number is only the number of protons in an atom and is not a true indicator of atomic weight. Variations in Neutron count can cause differences in atomic weights.


How do atomic numbers and atomic masses increase in the periodic table?

Atomic numbers increase from left to right across a period on the periodic table. This is because each element in a period has one more proton in its nucleus compared to the element before it. Atomic masses generally increase from left to right as well, but there may be deviations due to isotopes or other factors. Within a group or column, atomic numbers and atomic masses increase from top to bottom as each successive element has more electrons and neutrons than the one above it.


What happens where two elements have the same atomic number?

When two elements have the same atomic number, it means they are isotopes of each other. Isotopes have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. This results in subtle differences in their atomic mass and stability.


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

The atomic number will increase by 1 and the mass number will remain unchanged during which decay?

The atomic number increases by 1 while the mass number remains unchanged during beta decay. In this process, a neutron in the nucleus is transformed into a proton, emitting a beta particle (an electron) in the process. This transformation results in the formation of a new element, as the number of protons increases, but the total number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) remains the same.


When promethium-165 atomic number 61 undergoes beta decay it transmutates into?

When promethium-165 (Pm-165), which has an atomic number of 61, undergoes beta decay, it transmutates into neodymium-165 (Nd-165), which has an atomic number of 60. In this process, a neutron in the promethium nucleus is converted into a proton, emitting a beta particle (an electron) and an antineutrino. This results in an increase in the atomic number by one, changing the element to neodymium while the mass number remains the same.


What is The alpha emission process results in the daughter nucleus differing in what manner from the parent?

Atomic number increases by one.


The process of positron emission results in a change to the atomic nucleus. Is that change a decrease of 1 or a decrease of 2 or an increase of 1 or is there no change?

In positron emission, atomic number decreases by one. That's because a proton in the nucleus of the element that is about to undergo positron emission changes into a neutron. This is beta plus decay, by the way. You'll recall that the atomic number of an element, which is that element's chemical identity, is determined solely by the number of protons in the nucleus. If we "lose" a proton because it changes into a neutron, atomic number will now decrease by one. Check out the links below to related posts.


What accompanies an increase in atomic number within a specific period?

An increase in atomic number within a specific period corresponds to an increase in the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom. This leads to a higher positive charge, causing the outer electrons to be more strongly attracted to the nucleus. As a result, the atomic size tends to decrease across a period as atomic number increases.


What happens as periods increase on the periodic table?

As you move across a period on the periodic table, the number of protons increases, which increases the atomic number. This results in a greater positive charge in the nucleus, leading to an increase in the attraction between the nucleus and the electrons in the outer energy levels. This trend generally results in smaller atomic size and higher electronegativity as you move across a period.


What does the number of electrons in an atom do as the atomic number increases?

Increase


What happens to the chemical reactivity of alkali metals as you increase atomic numbers?

The chemical reactivity of alkali metals increase when the atomic number increase.


Ifthe atomic number increase what happens to the atomic mass?

Nothing. They are not correlated


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 is the trend in atomic mass going down a group?

The atomic mass will increase. As you go down a group in the periodic table the atomic number rises, this increase in the number of protons is accompanied by an increase in the number of neutrons to stabilise the nucleus, and both together lead to an increase in atomic mass.


What number increases in the periodic table?

The atomic number increases in the periodic table. The atomic number represents the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, and it increases by one as you move from left to right across a period on the periodic table.
