This quantity increases by 1 in beta-minus decay.
The square of this value minus one was shown to be proportional to the frequency of a K-alpha X-ray line by Moseley. The screening constant is subtracted from this value in Slater's rules, and this value squared appears in the numerator of the Rydberg formula for the energy of an electron in a (*) hydrogen-like atom. This quantity increases by 1 in beta-minus decay. This value is symbolized uppercase Z, and the periodic table is ordered by it. The atomic mass is equal to the number of neutrons plus, for 10 points, what number equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of a given atom?
