How does the mass number of an atom change when its nucleus absorbs a neutron?

Essentially the 3 basic parts to an atom are a Proton, Neutron and an Electron. Protons have a unit of mass and a positive charge Neutrons have a unit of mass and a neutral charge Electrons have no unit of mass and a negative charge. When a neutron breaks off from another atom it becomes a free radical that is then absorbed by the receiving atom because it would have a spare neutron space because the number of neutrons must be identical to the number of protons otherwise the atom will radioactivity decay. Essentially the mass number changes because the neutron has a mass.


What determine the atom mass?

Essentially an atom's mass is determined by its number of protons and neutrons, as mass of electrons is so minuscule relative the nucleus.

What is the relationship between radioactivity and half life?

If you know the half life of an isotope and the amount of it present, it is possible to calculate the numbers of decay events per second in the mass. This does not provide all the information about radioactivity, because it does not provide information about the type of decay. The missing information includes the type of emission (alpha, beta, gamma, fission, etc.), the energy of the emitted particle or particles, and the energy imparted to the atom itself. Another piece of information that needs to be accounted for is the isotope of the daughter atom or atoms. If these are inert, the radioactivity declines. But if the daughter atoms are radioactive, they may make the mass more radioactive, increasing the number of decay events per second, and change its nature by making different emissions of their own.
