Question

during a radioactive decay , will the atom become ionic or remain neutral?
if C becomes N (6 electrons to 7),where will the extra electron come from? @IIT study group

Answer 1

During radioactive decay, the unstable nuclei disintegrate to become more stable. The daughter nuclide is not ionic. As in this case of Carbon changing to Nitrogen, 6C14 has too many neutrons. So the nucleus decays by negative beta decay which changes a proton into a neutron. And it becomes 7N14, one of the forms of nitrogen. This nitrogen does not have too many neutrons or protons, it is not radioactive, it does not decay, it is stable.

Answer 2

what about the electron??

Answer 3

it is neutral

Answer 4

electron?

Answer 5

u see heavier nucleus split to light nucleus

Answer 6

no need of telling about electrons here

Answer 7

mm...i know dat....bt i wanna knw bout electrons....qustn by teacher..

Answer 8

got it

Answer 9

u see one neutron splits into an electron and and an antineutrino

Answer 10

this is hw electron is formed

Answer 11

mmm...sure??

Answer 12

ya

Answer 13

nuclear transmutation?

Answer 14

endonu?

Answer 15

lol...wt wer u answerin den?

Answer 16

athane

Answer 17

a carbon-14 atom (the "parent") emits radiation (a beta particle, antineutrino, and a gamma ray) and transforms to a nitrogen-14 atom (the "daughter").
there is no mentioning of electron...
wer didja get the ansr from??

Answer 18

???

Answer 19

wt is beta equilant to?

Answer 20

huh??

Answer 21

positrons??

Answer 22
