The Neon isotope 23Ne (element number 10 in the Periodic Table) decays into Sodium (11Na).
a) How many protons, neutrons and electrons does a neutral 23Ne atom have?
b) Write down the decay sequence including all decay products.
c) For this reaction, t1/2 = 38 seconds. If I start watching at noon, how many minutes will pass before I have less than 0.5% of the sample left?
