Consider the following statements:
Loss of β−particle is equivalent to:
1. Increase in one proton only.
2. Decrease in one neutron only.
Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?
Consider the following statements:
Loss of β−particle is equivalent to:
1. Increase in one proton only.
2. Decrease in one neutron only.
Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?
The correct option is C Both 1 and 2
Loss of β−particle is equivalent to:
1. Increase in one proton only.
2. Decrease in one neutron only.
statement(s) given above are correct.
1. Increase in one proton only: More electrons means a negative charge and fewer means a positive
charge. Once an atom has an electrical charge it is called an ion. In an ion
the atomic number and atomic mass do not change from the original. If an atom
were to gain or lose neutrons it becomes an isotope.
2. Decrease in one neutron only: It does, however, change the mass of the nucleus. Adding or removing
neutrons from the nucleus are how isotopes are created. Protons carry a
positive electrical charge and they alone determine the charge of the nucleus.
... So, adding or removing protons from the nucleus changes what element that
atom is!
