The Nucleus

{ }_{10}^{23} \mathrm{Ne}

decays by

\beta-

emission through the reaction

{ }_{10}^{23} \mathrm{Ne} \rightarrow{ }_{11}^{23} \mathrm{Na}+{ }_{-1}^0 \beta+\bar{v}+

energy The atomic masses are

{ }_{10}^{23} \mathrm{Ne}=22.994466 \mathrm{u}

and

{ }_{11}^{23} N a=22.989770 \mathrm{u},{ }_{-1}^0 \beta=0.000549 \mathrm{u}
