because the total enegy of the decay is carried by beta particle and the nutrino.

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.
What type of nuclear decay produces energy instead of a particle?
gamma decay
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.)
Charged particles that are given off by the nuclei of radioisotopes as they decay are called?
Either an Alpha particle or Beta particle depending on what isotope it comes from
What type of particles are released as part of beta decay?
The "beta decay" is named after the type of particles emitted - beta particles.A beta particle is either an electron, or an anti-electron (a.k.a. "positron").
What is the energy of beta particle?
The end point energy of a beta decay is the kinetic energy of all particles emitted through B-decay. This is often ignoring the energy of the recoiling daughter nucleus.
What is the endpoint energy of beta particle?
The end point energy of a beta decay is the kinetic energy of all particles emitted through B-decay. This is often ignoring the energy of the recoiling daughter nucleus.
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.
What type of nuclear decay produces energy instead of a particle?
gamma decay
Does the proton decay?
This all depends on the situation and context. In particle physics, proton decay is hypothetical. It is a type of radioactive decay where protons decay into lighter subatomic particles.
What type nuclear decay produces particles that are identical to the helium nucleus?
an alpha particle
What type of nuclear decay release energy but not an particle?
All nuclear decay releases both energy and particles. Even gamma rays from the meta stable decay of Technetium-99m, being only photons, are particles, because a photon is considered a particle - or is it energy? - or is it mass? - hmmm? - see quantum mechanics on that one.Also, Einsten's famous mass energy equivalence equation e = mc2 states rather plainly that energy is mass and mass is energy. That means that if nuclear decay releases energy, then it also releases mass, and vice versa. There is no way around the equivalence.Do not misunderstand this. The equation does not mean that energy can be converted into mass or vice versa, it means that energy is mass and vice versa. Neither energy nor mass can be created nor destroyed. So, when an atomic bomb goes off and loses mass generating a high amount of energy, the mass that is lost is simply carried away with the energy.Sorry if it seems I deviated from the topic, but I did not. This is part of reinforcing the answer and enhancing the explanation.
What is the half life of a particle with 1000 particles to decay completely?
Cannot be answered with available information.

What decay has no particle associated with it?
All nuclear decay has some kind of particle or particles associated with it. Even the metastable decay of 4399Tcm, a gamma at 142.7 Kev, is considered to be a particle emission, because a gamma is a photon, and a photon is an elementary particle, per our understanding of modern quantum mechanics and particle physics, even though it has no mass at rest state.
Charged particles that are given off by the nuclei of radioisotopes as they decay are called?
Either an Alpha particle or Beta particle depending on what isotope it comes from
Definition for Radioactive decay?
Radioactive decay is the characteristics of radioactive substances that all radioactive atoms do not disintegrate at once but do so gradually .It is spontaneous and it is not influenced by external conditions such as temperature, pressure , etc.. In any radioactive decay , either an alpha particle or beta particle is emitted by atom .Both the particles are not emitted simultaneously .Moreover , the atom does not emit more than one alpha particle or more than one beta particle at a time
