Which type of particle has an atomic number of -1 and a mass number 0?
This question probably refers to a positron, although I am not sure that the description of it as having a negative atomic number is widely recognized.
What decay decreases atomic mass by 1?
Beta decay decreases atomic mass by 1. In beta decay, a neutron in the nucleus is converted into a proton, releasing a beta particle (an electron) and an antineutrino. This results in an increase of the atomic number by 1, while the atomic mass remains the same.
What is the radioactive decay of an atom resulting in the decrease in the atomic number with no charge in the atomic mass called?
It is called beta decay. there are two types: 1) posive beta decay in which atomic number decreases. 2) negative beta decay in which atomic number increases.
When an α particle is emitted the atomic number 1. decreases by 4. 2. increases by 2. 3. decreases by 2. 4. decreases by 1. 5. increases by 4.?
In this case the atomic number decrease by 2.
What is the atomic number the atomic mass and the number of neutrons of the element hydrogen?
The 'standard' hydrogen atom has atomic number 1, atomic mass 1, no neutrons. Although there are 2 other isotopes of hydrogen: - (cant confirm name) which has atomic mass 2 and 1 neutron. - (cant confirm name) has atomic mass of 3 and 1 neutron. All isotopes have atomic number 1.
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 is the change in atomic number when an atom emits a positron?
Emitting a positron, turns a proton into a neutron. So the atomic number goes down by 1, while the mass number remains the same.
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

What happens to the atomic number when the nucleus releases a beta particle?
When the nucleus releases a beta minus particle the atomic number increase with 1.When the nucleus releases a beta plus particle the atomic number decrease with 1.
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.

What is the daughter nucleus produced when 196Pb undergoes electron capture?
The beta plus decay of mercury (a positron emission event) will deliver the daughter nucleus gold.
