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 happens when U-235 emits a beta particle?

beta decay results from the transformation of a neutron in the nucleus to a proton (+ charge) and an electron (beta particle). The proton remains in the nucleus increasing the atomic number by one (mass number remains the same) while the electron is emitted as a beta particle. So, U-235 of atomic number 92 changes to Neptunium with atomic number 93. However, to my knowledge, U-235 decays by gamma not beta. U-236 decays by beta to Neptunium-236.


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 unstable nucleus produces an beta particle by how many units does the atomic number of the nucleus change?

The atomic number decreases by one for each beta particle


When an atom emits a 1 beta particle what can be said about is mass number and atomic number?

Emiting a beta particle is the result of a neutron changing into a proton so the atomic number increases by 1 and the mass number stays the same

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 the atomic number of a nucleus change when beta decay occurs?

The atomic number increases by one unit when a beta decay occurs.


What happens to the total number of nucleons during beta decay?

The total number of nucleons remains the same during beta decay. A neutron is converted into a proton and an electron (beta particle), so the total number of nucleons (protons + neutrons) stays constant.

Converting carbon to nitrogen by increasing the number of protons from 6 to 7 and decreasing the number of neutrons from 8 to 7 is an example of what type of decay?

This process is an example of beta decay. In beta decay, a neutron in the nucleus is converted into a proton, releasing a beta particle (an electron) and an antineutrino. This leads to a change in the atomic number of the element while the mass number remains the same.
