The atomic nucleus can emit beta particles (beta radiation). A neutron emits a beta particle when it decays into a proton, and anti-neutrino, and an electron (which becomes the beta particle).
In beta decay (β⁻), a neutron converts to a proton, and emits an electron and an electron antineutrino. So the electron wasn't there from the start; it gets created as part of the beta decay.
When an atomic nucleus releases a positron, it has undergone beta plus decay. This nuclear transformation event also will release a neutrino. Use the link below for more information.
We see that carbon-14 undergoes beta minus decay to become nitrogen-14. Here's the equation: 614C => 714N + e- + ve The carbon-14 nucleus has a neutron within it change into a proton Then we see both a beta minus particle (an electron with high kinetic energy) and an antineutrino ejected from the nucleus.
In beta decay equations, e- refers to an electron (in beta-), and e+ refers to a positron (in beta+).Not asked, but answered for completeness, ve refers to the electron neutrino that accompanies the positron, and v-e refers to the electron antineutrino that accompanies the electron.
no
Examples are: neutron, antineutron, 3 neutrino and 3 antineutrino.
Alpha Particle
Outside the nucleus, free neutrons are unstable and have a mean lifetime of 885.7±0.8 s (about 15 minutes), decaying by emission of a negative electron and antineutrino to become a proton: : n0 → p+ + e− + νe
One part of a beta- particle. The other part is an electron antineutrino
Carbon-14 does not decay by alpha decay, it decays by beta- decay to nitrogen-14, emitting a W- boson that subsequently decays into an electron and an electron antineutrino... 614C -> 714N + (W- -> e- + v-e)
The question does not make sense. A neutron is neutral NOT positive. When a neutron decays, it forms a positively charged proton and a negatively charged electron and an antineutrino.
A lone neutron spontaneously decays into a proton plus an electron plus an antineutrino (to carry off extra energy).
The four forces are: Gravity, Electromagnatic, the strong force( force binds neutrons and protons together in an atom), and the weak force (electron and antineutrino).
The atomic nucleus can emit beta particles (beta radiation). A neutron emits a beta particle when it decays into a proton, and anti-neutrino, and an electron (which becomes the beta particle).
There are 6 leptons in total.1st Gen.ElectronElectron Neutrino2nd gen.MuonMuon Neutrino3rd gen.TauTau NeutrinoThey all have a anti-particle too. Like the Positron, Muon Antineutrino, ect.
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
