Question

What is the mass number of the particle emitted from the nucleus during beta minus decay?

What kind of charge does the particle emitted from the nucleus during beta minus decay have?

Answer 1

"THE" is also an article which is a modifier, meaning it describes a noun. Which in these cases it's identifying "mass number" and "particle". So yes, I know what "THE" means and what it's used for. Thanks for the grammar lesson but I asked a chemistry question.
