Q950
what form of decay does not change the atomic number of them decaying atom?
Radioactive decay
Beta decay occurs when the nucleus emits an electron or positron and a type of neutrino , in a process that changes a proton to a neutron or the other way around.
00
Q950
what form of decay does not change the atomic number of them decaying atom?
Radioactive decay
The nucleus may capture an orbiting electron, converting a proton into a neutron ( electron capture ).
00
Q950
what form of decay does not change the atomic number of them decaying atom?
Radioactive decay
All of these processes result in nuclear transmutation.
00
Q950
what form of decay does not change the atomic number of them decaying atom?

By contrast, there exist radioactive decay processes that do not result in transmutation.
00
Q950
what form of decay does not change the atomic number of them decaying atom?
Radioactive decay
The energy of an excited nucleus may be emitted as a gamma ray in gamma decay, or used to eject an orbital electron by interaction with the excited nucleus in a process called internal conversion .
00
Q950
what form of decay does not change the atomic number of them decaying atom?
Radioactive decay
Radioisotopes occasionally emit neutrons, and this results in a change in an element from one isotope to another.

00
Q950
what form of decay does not change the atomic number of them decaying atom?
Radioactive decay
Radioactive decay is a stochastic (i.e., random) process at the level of single atoms, in that, according to quantum theory , it is impossible to predict when a particular atom will decay.
00
Q950
what form of decay does not change the atomic number of them decaying atom?

However, the chance that a given atom will decay is constant over time.
00
Q950
what form of decay does not change the atomic number of them decaying atom?
