When a beta particle is ejected from a nucleus the nucleus then has greater?
positive charge A beta particle is formed when a neutron decays into a proton and electron. So the extra proton will increase the nuclear charge.
When C6 emits a beta particle what does it become?
When a beta particle is emitted a neutron changes to a proton in the nucleus. Thus the molecule would have one more proton, so would be an isotope of nitrogen.
What is a high energy electron from the nucleus called?
beta particle In beta decay a neutron is converted into a proton, electron (also called a beta particle) and an electron antineutrino.
When the hydrogen isotope tritium 3 emits a beta particle it becomes an isotope of?
Helium
When magnesium-28 undergoes beta decay what is the identity and the mass number of the nucleus formed?
After the beta decay of the isotope magnesium-28 the isotope aluminium-28 is formed. 28Al has 13 protons and 15 neutrons - the mass number is 28.

beta particle In beta decay a neutron is converted into a proton, electron (also called a beta particle) and an electron antineutrino.
What happens to the atomic number when the nucleus releases a beta particle?
When the nucleus releases a beta minus particle the atomic number increase with 1.When the nucleus releases a beta plus particle the atomic number decrease with 1.
When beta particle is ejected from a nucleus does it have a greater mass or charge?
The beta particle is formed when a neutron decays into a proton and electron. So the number of protons increases, causing an increase in the charge of the nucleus by 1, and a very tiny decrease in mass.
When magnesium-28 undergoes beta decay what is the identity and the mass number of the nucleus formed?
After the beta decay of the isotope magnesium-28 the isotope aluminium-28 is formed. 28Al has 13 protons and 15 neutrons - the mass number is 28.
When the hydrogen isotope tritium 3 emits a beta particle it becomes an isotope of?
Helium
Is a beta particle a helium nucleus or an electron?
A beta particle is a high energy electron. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus. A gamma ray is a high energy photon.
When an unstable nucleus produces an beta particle by how many units does the atomic number of the nucleus change?
The atomic number decreases by one for each beta particle
A high-speed electron ejected from a nucleus durng radioactive decay is called a?
an alpha particle
A high-energy electron from the nucleus?
beta particle
What is the high-energy electron from the nucleus?
Beta particle
