can you help me with this
How much does the mass and charge of a nucleus change when each type of radiation is emitted?
Part 1 of 2
a particle
Change in mass
Change in charge
Part 2 of 2
positron
Change in mass: The mass of a nucleus does not change when a positron is emitted, as a positron has the same mass as an electron. Therefore, there is no change in mass.
Change in charge: The charge of a nucleus decreases by one unit when a positron is emitted, as a positron has a positive charge (+e) while a nucleus has a positive charge (+Z).
