Hydrogen Nuclei). The extra energy becomes mass and turns one of the protons into a neutron. The proton loses its charge by the emission of a positron (or an anti-electron). Also, by a similar process (although not requiring any energy), a neutron emits a regular electron to become a proton.Louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10746982398555711955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572154923785712186.post-27247988808634702172008-08-04T17:22:00.000-04:002008-08-04T17:22:00.000-04:00How does a proton loose energy and become a neutro...How does a proton loose energy and become a neutron.
