There are two beta decay schemes. Beta- involves changing a neutron into a proton and emitting an electron and an electron antineutrino. Beta+ involves changing a proton into a neutron and emitting a positron and an electron neutrino. There are other steps and factors involved, but that is the simple explanation.

What is the difference between Alpha rays and beta rays?
Alpha rays are helium nuclei, two protons and two neutrons, an atomic mass number of 4, and a charge of +2. Beta rays are electrons or, in some cases, positrons, an atomic mass number of 1 / 1854, and a charge of -1, or +1 for the positron.
What is the collective name of high-energy particles and rays given off by the nuclei of atoms?
The energy is called nuclear radiation, high energy particles and rays that are emitted by the nuclei of some atoms.
Which is not radioactive beta rays gamma rays or X-rays?
Both beta rays and gamma rays are the products of radioactive decay and are the result of changes in atomic nuclei. X-rays can be generated by using high voltage to accelerate electrons and slam them into a metal target, so they might be said to be non-radioactive.
How beta particles are emitted from nuclei as there are no electrons in nucleas of an atom than from where beta rays are emmited?
nucleus is a very complicated region and we known little about thattheoretically a neutron is broken down to a proton and a beta particle during radioactivity so with in nucleus beta particle is a part of neutron.

What is one unique fact about beta particales?
Beta particles are electrons, generally emitted by the cathode of a glow discharge system. When beta particles was discovered the atomic model was not known and the new "rays" were called with progressive names alfa rays, beta rays, gamma rays and so on.

What are the particles called from a nuclear decay?
These are known as alpha, beta, and gamma rays. Alpha rays are helium-4 nuclei, beta rays can be electrons or positrons, gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves.These are known as alpha, beta, and gamma rays.

Why the speed of beta rays emitted by the same element are different?
because the control of neucles on different electrons is different and we know that beta rays are infact electrons then we can say that the speed of beta rays emitted by the same element is different

What is radoiactivity?
Radioactivity is the property possessed by some elements (as uranium) or isotopes (as carbon 14) of spontaneously emitting energetic particles (as electrons or alpha particles) by the disintegration of their atomic nuclei; also : the rays emitted
What is the difference between alpha beta gamma rays?
Alpha rays are helium nuclei (two protons + two neutrons) and have a charge of +2; beta rays are either electrons or anti-electrons (positrons), with a charge of -1 or +1; gamma rays are high-energy light rays (photons).
What radioactive emission is not a particle?
Gamma rays are not particles, but highly-ionizing electromagnetic radiation of a very short wavelength.The other major atomic "radiation" is in the form of alpha particles (He nuclei) or beta particles (electrons, or positrons).
