A neutron breaks down to form a proton and an electron.
Change in atomic mass when an atom emits gamma radiation. The gamma radiation consists of photons which have no mass so the mass would remain the same. 
Re the change in atomic number when an atom emits an alpha particle it loses two protons and two neutrons so the atomic number drops by 2.

How to find valency?​
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

ork out which of the displacement (S), initial velocity (U), acceleration (A) and time (T) you have to solve for final velocity (V).

If you have U, A and T, use V = U + AT.

If you have S, U and T, use V = 2(S/T) - U.

If you have S, U and A, use V = SQRT(U2 + 2AS)

Which one of the atoms shown would be most likely to form a cation with a charge of 1?
olga55 [171]
Ions are stable atoms of elements formed when original atoms loose or gain electrons to form stable configuration. Anions are negatively charged ions formed when atoms gain electrons while cations are the positively charged ions formed when atoms loose electrons. In this case a charge of +1 means an atom lost one electron to form a stable configuration. Therefore, the correct answer is A
