When radioactive phosphorus decay it emits a positron will the resulting nucleus be another isotope of phosphorus?
No, whenever an atom emits a positron its atomic number is decreases by one unit (because a proton is converted into a neutron and a positron) but Atomic Mass remains the same so phosphorus is converted into silicon atom with same atomic mass.

What are monoisotopic elements?
Mono isotopic elements are stable isotope of an element.From 80 isotopic elements there are 26 radioactive elements discovered up till now.These mono isotopic may or may not be radioactive if they are radioactive they have halve lives.
What is phosphorus' state of matter?
Phosphorus exists in multiple allotropes, with the most common being white phosphorus, which is a solid. Red phosphorus is another common form, which is also a solid. Both white and red phosphorus are considered non-metallic elements in solid form.
What two elements compose phosphide?
Phosphide ion is composed of only Phosphorus
How can i obtain red phosphorus?
get some period red blood. Obtain geen phosphoros from the middle layer of the bark of the dragon wood tree. Contest period red blood to vapor. Melt the phosphorus. Let it cool in the presence of the period red blood vapor.
What is the correct electron configuration of phosphorus?
Phosphorus has an electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3. Another way to write that is [Ne] 3s2 3p3. The [Ne] represents the fact that the beginning of phosphorus' electron configuration is the same as Neon's.
What is the antiparticle of a positron?
The antiparticle of a positron is an electron. Both the positron and electron have the same mass but opposite charge, with the positron having a positive charge and the electron having a negative charge.
What is the breakdown of a radioactive isotope of the same element or of another element?
radioactive decay
What is another name for a box of phosphorus and sulfur?
A box of phosphorus and sulfur is commonly referred to as a matchbox.
How do radioisotopes of an element differ feom other isotopes?
Radioisotopes are "radioactive isotopes"; they are not stable. Radioactive atoms will decay, or break apart into other atoms, by emitting an electron, or a neutron or a positron or an alpha particle (2 protons and two neutrons). The rate at which this happens is measured by the "half-life"; after one half-life, half of the atoms will have decayed. After another half-life, half of the remaining atoms will have decayed. Atoms with short half-lives are highly radioactive, and can be fairly dangerous. Atoms with long half-lives are only slightly radioactive, and aren't all that dangerous.
What isotope is formed when 28P emits a positron?
In this reaction we see an isotope of phosphorus,28P, undergo beta plus decay. In beta plus decay, a proton in the nucleus of an atom undergoes a transformation wherein an up quark becomes a down quark. This event, mediated by the weak nuclear force (or weak interaction), results in the proton becoming a neutron. When this happens, the atom changes from one element to another element in a process called transmutation. Here we see phosphorus become silicon, and the equation might look like this: 1528P => 1428Si + e+ + ve In this beta plus decay event, we see the phosphorus-28 atom transforming into a silicon-28 atom, and we see the positron (e+) and the neutrino (ve) kicked out of the nucleus on the back side of the event. Some links are provided below for extra investigation.
What is phosphorus shape?
Phosphorus can exhibit different shapes or allotropes depending on the conditions. The most common form is white phosphorus, which consists of P4 tetrahedra. Another form is red phosphorus, which has a network structure. Both white and red phosphorus exist as molecular solids.
What happens directly after ATP is used up?
You make ATP after you "break" the phosphorus group off and produce ADP. You can add another phosphorus group to ADP producing then another ATP.

What is another name for radioactive dating?
Carbon Dating
Radioactive decay occurs when?
When a radioactive element slowly turns into another element/s when it emits various particles.
How does positron emission cause nuclear transmutation?
It is in beta plus decay that we see the positron emitted from the nucleus. (An electron is emitted in beta minus decay.) Within the nucleus of an unstable atom, a proton transforms into a neutron, and a positron is ejected from the nucleus (along with a neutrino). As the nucleus now has one more proton than it did before, its atomic number just went up by one; it is another element.
