Question

does the neutron-to-proton ratio increse decrease or remain same

Answer 1

Answer:

The neutron:proton ratio decreases during β⁻ decay. β⁺ or positron emission is a process in which a nucleus emits a positron — the antimatter counterpart of an electron. In magnesium-23, there are 11 neutrons and 12 protons. The neutron:proton ratio increases during positron decay.
