An electron will not decay into a proton by any means.
During electron capture, an electron and proton combine and are converted to a neutron.
Electron also referred to as a beta particle in this instance
Electron capture is the absorption of an electron by an atomic nucleus if that nucleus is neutron poor. An electron is captured, usually from an inner electron shell of that atom, and it will convert a proton in the nucleus into a neutron. We know that a neutron is converted into a proton and an electron in neutron decay, so it might be looked at as something of an opposite nuclear reaction where a proton and an electron combine to form a neutron.
I think you may be referring to Beta decay of a radioactive substance. Beta decay involves the emission of an electron and an electron antineutrino from the nucleus of an atom as a neutron is converted into a proton

A proton is bigger than electron
A proton is bigger than electron
No. The electron and proton have the same amount of charge. Its just that the electron's charge is negative and the proton's charge is positive.
An electron is 1/1,836 of a proton.
remove either a proton or electron OR add a proton or electron...
A proton and an electron have exactly opposite charges. If you take the charge of a proton as +1, then an electron has a charge of -1.
A proton has a positive charge of +1 An electron has a negative charge of -1 An neutron has no charge
