If fluorine 20 undergoes beta decay , what will it become ?

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 :).

The density of water is 1 g/cm cubed and in order for the pebble to sink its density has to be greater than the density of water and in order for the twig to float its density has to be less than the density of water

The metal is named first
