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.

Elements are created that differ from the reactants.


In general howe dose atomic radius change across a period from letf to right?

Atomic radius generally decreases across a period from left to right. This is due to the increasing nuclear charge pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus, making the atomic size smaller.


Is it true or false that across a period from left to right the properties of elements change according to a pattern?

Yes, properties change according to pattern along a period. For example- atomic size decreases along a period. This is due to increasing nuclear charge.Yes, most of the properties change according to a pattern. Atomic radii, electronegativity changes according to a pattern. But properties like ionization energy does not change according to a pattern.


Example of nuclear change?

What atomic change produces the largest amount of energy?

The atomic change that produces the largest amount of energy is a nuclear atomic change. This is when an atom is hit with another elementary particles and releases a large amount of energy.


How do some nuclei change?

Atomic nuclei are changed by nuclear reactions or radioactive disintegration.


How does the change in the carbon's number of neutron affect the atomic number?

The number of neutrons has no influence on the number of the atomic number. Only protons do, and they only change in nuclear chemistry.


What does the term nuclear reaction refer to?

The term nuclear reaction is a general one, and it refers to any change in atomic nuclei. There are a lot of different ones (nuclear changes) that qualify, so let's look at some. A nuclear reaction could be a nuclear decay event where a single atomic nucleus undergoes a change. Alpha decay, beta decay, spontaneous fission and even gamma emission are nuclear reactions. Additionally, a nuclear reaction could refer to the interaction of a subatomic particle and an atomic nucleus, like neutron capture in nuclear chain reactions. Further, nuclear fusion, which is constantly going on in our sun, is also considered a nuclear reaction because lighter atomic nuclei are fused together to make heavier ones. As there are a number of "flavors" of nuclear reactions, we leave a reader a variety of options to choose from when we apply this term. It may help to be more specific, depending on the way this term is used.


How does a plus exponent change the atomic radius?

A plus exponent signifies that the atomic radius decreases as you move across a period due to an increase in the effective nuclear charge, pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus. This results in stronger attraction between the nucleus and the outermost electrons, making the atomic radius smaller.


What makes the atomic radius change along the periodic in the periodic table?

Along a period, nuclear charge increases. hence, atomic radius decreases.

How does the atomic raduis change across a period of the periodic table?

The atomic radius generally decreases across a period of the periodic table from left to right due to increased nuclear charge pulling electrons closer to the nucleus. This results in a stronger attractive force, leading to a smaller atomic radius.
