B Carbon-14 to Nitrogen-14 Decay: Proton Gain & No Electron Loss

AI Thread Summary
Carbon-14 decays into Nitrogen-14 by a neutron transforming into a proton and emitting a beta particle, which is a high-energy electron. This process results in Nitrogen-14 having 7 protons and 7 neutrons, but initially only 6 electrons. The missing electron creates an ionized state for the nitrogen atom. To stabilize, Nitrogen-14 will capture an electron from a nearby atom. Understanding this decay process clarifies the electron dynamics involved in the transformation.

How Carbon-14 effectively gains a proton but no electrons when decaying to Nitrogen-14...?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
When one of the carbon's neutrons decays into a proton and a high-energy electron that is emitted as a beta particle, that leaves a nitrogen atom of 7 protons, 7 neutrons and 6 electrons by my reckoning. Where does the 7th electron come from? All answers will be gratefully received. Thanks!
 
The decay of 14C leaves 14N in an ionized state, that is, lacking an electron. It'll grab an electron from a nearby atom.

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
