Which type of particle has an atomic number of -1 and a mass number 0?
This question probably refers to a positron, although I am not sure that the description of it as having a negative atomic number is widely recognized.
If atomic mass of 16 and atomic number of 8 this means the number of neutrons in this type of oxygen is?
The atomic number refers to the number of protons in an element. The mass number can be used to indicate the number of neutrons because both protons and neutrons have a mass of about 1. An oxygen atom has 8 protons and 8 neutrons.
Was the modern periodic table organized according to atomic mass?
No, it is based upon the Atomic Number - the number of protons contained within an atomic nucleus is what 'distinguishes' one type of Atom from another type. Variations in atomic mass are secondary in consideration.
What are the 4 types of radiation and what does each type do to the nucleus?
Usually with the '4 types of radiation' it is referred to:- alpha radiation (emission of an alpha particle = a helium nucleus = 2 neutrons + 2 protons):Hence for the emitting nucleus the mass number decreases by 4 and the atomic number by 2.- beta-minus radiation (emission of a beta- particle = an electron)Hence for the emitting nucleus the mass number remains the same and the atomic number increases by 1 (a neutron decays into a proton and beta- radiation)- beta-plus radiation (emission of a beta+ particle = a positron)Hence for the emitting nucleus the mass number remains the same and the atomic number decreases by 1 (under the addition of energy a proton decays into a neutron and a positron)- gamma radiation (emission of high energetic photons)The emitting nucleus doesn't change its mass number and atomic number,but it jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
What does atomic mass number tell us?
Type your answer here..The Atomic Mass Unit tells us that ,How heavy a substance as compare to the other.

What type of nuclear decay results in the atomic number decreasing by two and the mass decreasing by two?
Emission of an alpha particle.
What type of particle has a charge of 1 and a mass number of 0?
beta
How is the atomic number of a nucleus changed by beta decay?
An alpha particle is essentially a helium atomic nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons. An alpha particle decay will result in the loss of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Because mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons, an alpha decay will reduce the mass number by 4, (and the atomic number by 2).

What is carbon's atomic number and atomic mass?
(Relative is the relative to hydrogen bit) Relative Atomic Mass:12 Proton number:6 The actual mass depends on how much carbon you have.

What type of nuclear decay results in the atomic number increasing by one with no change in mass?
Beta- decay result in an increase of atomic number by one, with no resulting change in the atomic mass number.There is a change in mass, since an electron and an electron anti-neutrino is emitted, and also because the neutron changes into a proton, but the atomic mass number, per se, does not change.
What do you call the type of radiation that is described as having a positive charge with an atomic mass of 4 making it a Helium atom without any electrons?
an alpha particle
What are in Proton rays?
Proton rays consist of protons, a type of positively charged atomic particle, rather than photons, which have neither mass nor charge
