Oxygen has 8 protons. When it gains one more, it becomes fluorine, the element with atomic number 9.
When a nucleus emits an electron, the atomic number increases by 1 since the nucleus gains a proton. However, the mass number remains the same because an electron is much lighter than a proton or neutron.
nothing (_*_)When a nucleus emits a beta particle, it loses one of its neutrons and gains one proton. Hence, it's mass and atomic number remain the same but its charge and proton number is increased by +1.^Excerpts from above:"...nucleus...gains one proton...""...atomic number remain the same...."The mass number remains the same because the neutron decays into a proton with the release of a beta particle. However, since one proton is gained, the atomic number also increases by 1. It does not remain the same like the mass number. Since the atomic number increased (the nucleus gained a positively charged proton), the charge does increase by +1.Read more: What_happens_to_a_nucleus_when_it_emits_a_beta_particle
No, the daughter element after alpha decay has less atomic number than the parent (reducing charge), but the total charge (protons) in the nucleus remains the same. The daughter element gains stability by emitting an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons.
There are two different kinds of beta decay, negative and positive. In negative beta decay, a neutron in the nucleus emits an electron and an electron antineutrino, becoming a proton in the process. This increases the atomic number of the atom by one, but it decreases the mass because the only thing really lost is the electron antineutrino. In positive beta decay, a proton in the nucleus receives energy from outside the atom to convert into a neutron, a positron and a neutrino. This increases the mass of the atom by converting the energy from outside the atom into mass within it.
If an atom gains three electrons, it will become negatively charged because electrons are negatively charged particles. This will result in the formation of a negatively charged ion. The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom will still determine its atomic number and identity.
Fluorine
An isotope can be produced if a nucleus gains a neutron or if one of the protons in its nucleus decays into a neutron and positron.
An isotope can be produced if a nucleus gains a neutron or if one of the protons in its nucleus decays into a neutron and positron.
an ion is when an element loses or gains one or more electrons. an isotope is when a element loses or gains one or more neutrons. when one or more proton(s) is/are gained or lost, it becomes a different element.
Yes, when a base gains a proton, it forms its conjugate acid by accepting the proton. The conjugate acid of a base is the species that results after the base gains a proton.
When a beta particle is ejected from a nucleus, the nucleus gains one unit of positive charge as it transforms a neutron into a proton. This results in an increase in the atomic number of the atom while the mass number remains the same.
Electron. In a stable element the number of protons (+ charged subatomic particles) must match the number of electrons (- charged subatomic particles) and neutrons (neutral or uncharged subatomic particles). At least that's how I remember it from my school days.
When an atom gains a positive charge, it loses one or more electrons. This alters its charge but not its identity as an element. The number of protons, which defines the element, remains the same in a positively charged atom.
This is called either nuclear fission, when the element loses a proton, or nuclear fusion, when the element gains a proton.Ans 2.It is called a nuclear reaction. Nuclear reactions tend to each have a name which is specific to that reactionalpha decay - the nucleus emits an alpha particle. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.beta decay - the nucleus emits an electron, and one of its neutrons becomes a proton OR the nucleus emits a positron and one of its protons becomes a neutron.Beta capture - the nucleus captures an electron, with a proton becoming a neutron OR captures a positron, with a neutron becoming a protonnuclear fission - the nucleus splits into two pieces, and emits one or more neutrons. The two pieces are more or less random, and generally of different sizes to each other. Strictly speaking not what the question asked for, because it turned into two elements rather than one.Nuclear fusion - two nuclei are slammed together violently, and become one. Again, not really what the question had in mind.
When a nucleus emits an electron, the atomic number increases by 1 since the nucleus gains a proton. However, the mass number remains the same because an electron is much lighter than a proton or neutron.
If this were to happen, which for most nuclei would be unbelievably unlikely, it would form a different isotope of the same element. I can't offhand think of any way a nucleus could gain or lose a neutron without something else happening at the same time. A neutron can change into a proton by emitting an electron (and an electron antineutrino), or a proton can absorb an electron and change into a neutron, but in both of these cases there's more going on than just the neutron number of the nucleus changing.
The acid formed when a base gains a proton is called a conjugate acid of the base. This process is known as protonation, where the base accepts a proton to become an acid. The conjugate acid will have one more proton than the base.
