Yes. Neutrons can change through radiation. The number of neutrons determines the isotope of the atom.

Is neutron number conserved in radioactive decay?

Neutron number is not conserved in radioactive decay processes. During beta decay, a neutron may convert into a proton, an electron (beta particle), and an antineutrino. This results in a change in neutron number.


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.


How would adding a neutron to an atom affect its atomic number?

Atomic number = Number of protons. So addition of neutron has no affect on the atomic number.Isotopes of the same element are formed by the change in neutrons.


how to get the number of neutron?

Mass no-the no of proton=no of neutron


How do you calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom?

You calculate the number of neutron in the nucleus of an atom by : atomic mass - atomic number = neutron number. :) hope this helps


Neutron number equals 44.96?

The neutron number of an atom typically refers to the number of neutrons in the nucleus. It is not common for the neutron number to be a decimal value, as neutrons are whole particles. It is possible that the value provided is indicating an average or approximate neutron number for a specific isotope.


How do the number of neutrons and protons change for isotopes of the same element?

Proton count remains the same, but neutron count can vary


How does beta radiation affect the nucleus?

The end result of beta- decay is that a neutron is converted into a proton, increasing the atomic number while keeping the atomic mass number the same. The end result of beta+ decay is that a proton is converted into a neutron, decreasing the atomic number while keeping the atomic mass number the same.


What is the change on a neutrons?

Neutron has no charge


Can neutron be change with an atom?

yes


When a neutron in absorbed by a U-235 nucleus what is the neutron number?

The atomic number of uranium is 92, so its atoms have 92 protons in their nuclei. If uranium-235 absorbs a neutron, it would then have the mass number of 236. The number of neutrons is the mass number minus the atomic number, so the number of neutrons in the uranium-236 nuclei would be 236-92=144.


What is the element with the neutron number 30.69?

There is no element with the neutron number 30.69. Neutron number is always a whole number as it refers to the total number of neutrons in an atom's nucleus. The closest whole number to 30.69 is 31, so an element with a neutron number of 31 could be gallium (atomic number 31).
