Wrong answer.

When beta Rey pass through elements then increase one atomic number.

Sumit kumar said:   4 years ago
The atomic number will increase.

Akhilesh Kumar said:   6 years ago
Increase by one unit.

Shyam k verma said:   6 years ago
The Correct answer is increase atomic number.

Abir said:   8 years ago
β- decay(electron): Atomic no increase.
β+ decay(positron): Atomic no decrease.

Rajender said:   8 years ago
β+ decay results in nuclear transmutation, with the resulting element having an atomic number that is decreased by one. The Answer is correct.

Janardan said:   1 decade ago
Wrong answer, correct answer more atomic number.

If beta particle decay then atomic no. increase one in new atom.
