do you have anymore numbers to add to this problem??
I cannot see the whole equation.Therefore I shall not answer
Fluorine 20 (F - Atomic number 9 and atomic mass 20). Firstly we need to know what is beta decay. Beta decay occurs when one neutron changes into a proton and an electron therefore the atomic mass will remain the same as even though we loose a neutron it is replaced by a proton, the atomic number is always raised by 1 when one beta decay occurs. The produced electron is shot out of the nucleus at an incredible speed. This speedy electron we call a beta particle.
Ok now the reaction.
20 20 0
F -> Ne + e
9 10 -1
Remember the atomic number determines the nature of the element ( i.e what elemnt it is).
Hope this helps :).
Answer:
Explanation:
Part two of Dalton's theory had to be modified after mass spectrometry experiments demonstrated that atoms of the same element can have different masses because the number of neutrons can vary for different isotopes of the same element. ... Scientists have even developed the technology to see the world on an atomic level!
hoped i helped you :)
