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.

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
What type of nuclear decay produces energy instead of a particle?
gamma decay
Why energy of beta particles is different in beta particle decay?
because the total enegy of the decay is carried by beta particle and the nutrino.
The particle with two protons and two neutrons ejected during decay?
Alpha particle
What is a particle with two neutrons and two protons ejected during decay?
an alpha particle
He decay of a neutron into a proton also ejects a small particle called a?
Beta Particle
What is a type of radioactive decay that involves emission from the nucleus of a high speed antimatter particle that is a counterpart of the electron?
This is beta decay, specifically beta plus decay. The beta particle that appears is the positron, which is the antimatter particle of the electron. Links can be found below for more information.
The decay of a neutron into a proton also ejects a small particle called a?
the decay of neutron into proton givesz small praticle called negative beta particle
A negative charged particle emitted during radioactive decay?
An electron during beta decay.
What is the product of radioactive decay HE called?
An alpha particle
When is the decay particle beta?
A beta particle is either an electron, or a positron (aka "anti-electron").
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
