Yes. That's what "beta radiation" is.
(occurs when a neutron becomes a proton).
What else can I help you with?
Radioactive decay do not involve electrons?
That statement is not entirely accurate. Radioactive decay can involve the emission of alpha particles, beta particles (electrons or positrons), and gamma rays. Electrons can be involved in certain types of radioactive decay processes.
Radioactive decay involve electons?
radioactive decay does not involve electrons as its composed of alpha, beta and gamma rays
Will electrons will be emitted in a radioactive decay?
It does not usually involve the atom's electrons, except for a type of decay called K capture. But the beta particles ejected in what is called beta decay are either electrons or positrons.
Can Radioactive decay involve electrons?
Yes. That's what "beta radiation" is. (occurs when a neutron becomes a proton).
Are there any non examples of radioactive decay?
Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are processes that involve nuclear reactions but are not examples of radioactive decay. Chemical reactions, such as burning wood, do not involve nuclear processes and are also not examples of radioactive decay.
Radioactive decay can be affected by what?
Most types of radioactive decay cannot be affected by anything. However, radioactive decay involving electron capture will be affected by the removal of electrons from around the nucleus. In the absence of orbital electrons, it cannot occur at all.
Are valence electrons only found in radioactive isotopes?
No, valence electrons are found in all elements, not just in radioactive isotopes. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom and they play a crucial role in determining the chemical properties of an element.
What radioactive emanations have a charge of - 1?
Beta particle electrons (as opposed to Beta particle positrons which have + charge)
Radioactive decay does not involve electrons?
Actually there is a mode of radioactive decay which involves an atomic electron. It is called electron capture and results in the atomic number Z decreasing by 1 and the mass number A remaining the same. This happens in nuclei which have a deficiency of neutrons. No ion is formed, but a K or L x-ray can be emitted in addition to a neutrino and possible gamma rays.
What is the source of heat in the Earth interior?
The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.
When radioactive isotopes break down into other elements the process is called?
radioactive decay
When an atom lose electrons?
Radioactive decay and ionic bonds (if the bond is broken, the electron goes back).
