Describe what happens when a nucleus is stabilized by converting neutrons into protons?
When a nucleus stabilizes by converting neutrons into protons, it undergoes a process known as beta decay. In this process, a neutron transforms into a proton while emitting an electron (beta particle) and an antineutrino. This conversion increases the atomic number of the element, potentially changing it into a different element while maintaining the same mass number. As a result, the nucleus moves toward a more stable configuration, reducing its likelihood of further radioactive decay.

What happens when you change the number of protons electrons or neutrons?
You get a different atom. This happens to 238Uranium as it gives off alpha radiation (two protons and two neutrons).The Alpha particle is essentially a Helium nucleus. The substance remaining is no longer 238Uranium but has become 234Thorium.
How many neutrons does the element U have?
The amount of neutrons can always be found by taking the atomic number from the mass number. Uranium has 146 neutrons. It depends on the isotope. See the link below for a list of uranium isotopes and how many neutrons are in each. You cannot tell how many neutrons it has with the given information. The most abundant isotope happens to be 238U, which has 146 neutrons.
When an atom undergoes oxidation what happens to the number of neutrons?
Oxidation is a chemial reaction; the atom and the number of neutrons remains unchanged.
What happens to neutrons after a covalent bond?
Nothing - neutrons take no part in bonding.

What is quarks?
Q:What happens when quarks and anti-quarks collide?A: They explode, same with protons and anti-protons, neutrons and anti-neutrons, electrons and positrons.
What happens In carbon-14 dating?
the carbon molicul is breaking down and releasing neutrons
What happens if the imbalance between protons and neutrons becomes too great?
The atom is unstable.
What happens to the number of neutrons in a typical atom moving from left to right on the periodic table?
From left to right , atomic number increases. Number of neutrons also increases.
