The atomic nucleus can emit beta particles (beta radiation).
A neutron emits a beta particle when it decays into a proton, and anti-neutrino, and an electron (which becomes the beta particle).

What are three types of beta decay?
There are two types of beta decay, and they are beta plus (beta +) decay and beta minus (beta -) decay. A post already exists on beta decay, and a link to that related question can be found below.
What is a particle that is never emitted in beta decay?
The alpha particle is emitted in alpha decay, and that means you won't see it appear in beta decay. In beta decay, you'll get either an electron or a positron emitted from the nucleus. A link to the related question here can be found below. "What is beta decay?" is already posted and answered.
Is a delta particle a fast moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay?
No, a delta particle is not a fast moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay. The electron described here is a beta particle, and specifically a beta minus particle. It is given off in (no surprise) beta minus decay. A link to a related question can be found below.
What is the nuclear decay equation for potassium-40?
There are three beta decay modes for 40K, and so three equations. The equation for the negative beta decay of 40K: 1940K --> 2040Ca + -10e where the -10e represents a beta particle or electron. The equation for the positive beta decay of 40K: 1940K --> 1840Ar+ 10e where the 10e represents a positive beta particle or positron. The equation for the decay of 40K by electron capture is:1940K + -10e --> 1840Ar + ve
What is the nuclear decay equation for rubidium?
The equation for the beta decay of 86Rb:3786Rb --> 3886Sr+ -10e where the -10e represents a beta particle or electron.
A beta particle is formed in the nucleus of an isotope due to the?
Radioactive decay; beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta particle (an electron or a positron) is emitted
Why energy of beta particles is different in beta particle decay?
because the total enegy of the decay is carried by beta particle and the nutrino.
Are beta emission and beta decay the same?
There is a difference between beta emitters and beta particles. In situations where an atomic nucleus exhibits nuclear instability due to too many neutrons for the number of protons or vice versa, that nucleus may undergo beta decay. It the decay event occurs, that atom is considered a beta emitter. The emitted particle is the beta particle. That's the difference. (There are two different beta particles, so check the articles on beta decay to get the scoop.)

How is a beta particle produced?
A beta particle is produced in a process called beta decay, in which a neutron becomes a proton or vise versa. There are two forms of beta decay:normal beta decay - a neutron becomes a proton, a beta particle (i.e. electron) and an antineutrinoantibeta decay - a proton becomes a neutron, an antibeta particle (i.e. positron) and a neutrino
When is the decay particle beta?
A beta particle is either an electron, or a positron (aka "anti-electron").
What is the nuclear decay equation for radium-288?
The equation for the beta decay of 24Na is: 1124Na --> 1224Mg + -10e where the e is a negative beta particle or electron.
What is a type of radioactive decay that involves emission from the nucleus of a high speed antimatter particle that is a counterpart of the electron?
This is beta decay, specifically beta plus decay. The beta particle that appears is the positron, which is the antimatter particle of the electron. Links can be found below for more information.
