What kind of radiation increases the atomic number of the donating atom by one Alpha Beta Gamma or Neutron?
The emission of beta particle increases the atomic number by one unit because one neutron is converted in to proton and beta particle.
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
Does beta radiation results in the emission of electrons?
In beta radiation, an emission of electrons can occur due to beta decay. A neutron can disintegrate into protons and electrons.
Why beta particle is not deflected by strong magnatic field?
A beta particle is deflected by a magnetic field. Perhaps you are thinking of the neutron or the gamma ray?
How do the electric charges of alpha particles beta particles and gamma rays differ from each other?
From Physics Forums The alpha particle has a 2+ charge, beta has 1- charge, and the gamma is neutral (no charge). The beta particle could also have a 1+ charge if it undergoes positron emission [a proton turns into a neutron and a positron (the "anti-electron")]

The uranium 238 can be triggered to split when it is stuck by a?
a free neutron can trigger the split of a particle like uranium 238. It will produce a smaller atom (eg. proctantium), a beta particle and energy.
When the nuclei of heavy atoms with many protons are split this process is called?
Generally this is called nuclear fission. In the special case where one of the new particles produced is a Helium-4 nucleus (2 protons, 2 neutrons) the process is radioactive decay and specifically alpha emission. (The He-4 nucleus is called an alpha particle, as it was the first such particle recognized. A beta particle is an electron emitted from the nucleus with the conversion of a neutron to a proton = beta emission.)
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
Does beta radiation results in the emission of electrons?
In beta radiation, an emission of electrons can occur due to beta decay. A neutron can disintegrate into protons and electrons.
When uranium 238 changes into protactinium 234 how many protons does it lose?
Uranium-234 become protactinium by emission of a beta particle. A proton is transformed in a neutron.
What radioactive emission is a particle?
Alpha emission is a 4helium nucleus, which behaves like a particle. Beta emission is an electron, which behaves like a particle. Gamma emission is a photon, which behaves like a particle. Experiments can also be set up to show their wavelike properties (for alpha, beta, and gamma radiation).
He decay of a neutron into a proton also ejects a small particle called a?
Beta Particle
What particle decomposes to produce the emission of beta radiation?
This particle is a neutron:neutron-----------proton + electron + neutrino
What is decay product of Yttrium90?
Yttrium-90 (Z= 39, N=51) decays to Zirconium-90 (Z=40, N=50) by emission of a beta particle (Neutron - > Proton + beta minus). Zirconium-90 is stable.
In beta Decay a neutron is converted into a proton and what?
In beta decay, the nucleus of the atom emits an electron. This is a new electron, not one of the electrons in the electron cloud. This does indeed have the effect of changing a neutron into a proton, because total charge has to be conserved - if a new negative thing exists, there has to be a new positive thing too. But the mass has to stay the same too - conveniently, protons and neutrons have almost the same mass.
