When a beta particle<span> is emitted from the nucleus the nucleus has one more proton and one less neutron. This means the atomic mass number remains unchanged and the atomic number increases by 1.
We can also say that </span>beta decay<span> is a type of radioactive </span>decay<span> in which a proton is transformed into a neutron inside an atomic nucleus.
</span><span>a) converts a neutron into a proton</span>
Answer to this is O-atom.
Explanation: The Bronsted acid-base theory is the backbone of chemistry. This theory focuses mainly on acids and bases acting as proton donors or proton acceptors.
where 
is the Lewis Acid and 
is the Lewis Base and 
is the Covalent Bond.
Reaction of dissociation of 
in 
is given as:
In this reaction O-atom has lone pair in water and therefore it accepts the proton from 
forming a Lewis Base.
