  1. Hey Hannah, Thank you so much for this blog.
    Moreover, there is a mistake, in beta decay we add one to the atomic number.Further its not +1 in e, its -1 therefore we add one..
    I hope you get this.. :)

    1. Hi, thankyou! I looked through radiation and corrected a few mistakes; I'm not sure if I changed the one you highlighted though?
