Sir in beta minus decay.... nucleas of atom X changed to nucleus of atom Y... number if protons increased by 1. But in Q value calculation why did we take (Z+1) electrons in atom Y... Where did this extra electron come from?
Well, do you know that in any atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons? In y, there is n+1 protons, so there should be n+1 electrons.
