How many units will the serial number of a radioactive element change when a neutron is emitted?

Since the mass number of a neutron is equal to one, and the charge number is zero, then when a neutron is emitted from an initial chemical element, only the mass number of a chemical element will change, but it will change by one. In this case, when a neutron is emitted, the charge number of the initial element never changes. That is, the mass number of a chemical element, which is obtained as a result of the emission of a neutron, will decrease by one, and the charge number will remain the same.



One of the components of a person's success in our time is receiving modern high-quality education, mastering the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for life in society. A person today needs to study almost all his life, mastering everything new and new, acquiring the necessary professional qualities.
