Question

he only stable isotope of fluorine is F. What type of radioactivity would you expect from the isotope F, which has one fewer neutron

Answer 1

The only stable isotope of fluorine is F is F¹⁹which has one fewer neutron and displays β + decay of radioactivity

What is Beta decay (β+ decay)?

• In nuclear physics, beta decay, also known as β-decay, is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits a beta particle (a fast energetic electron or positron), which changes the original nuclide into an isobar of that nuclide.
• For instance, in so-called positron emission, a proton is transformed into a neutron by the emission of a positron along with a neutrino, while in beta decay a neutron is transformed into a proton by the emission of an electron along with an antineutrino.
• Prior to beta decay, neither the beta particle nor the associated (anti-)neutrino are present in the nucleus; instead, they are produced during the decay process. This procedure gives unstable atoms a protons-to-neutrons ratio that is more stable.
