positive charge
A beta particle is formed when a neutron decays into a proton and electron. So the extra proton will increase the nuclear charge.

A high-speed electron ejected from a nucleus durng radioactive decay is called a?
an alpha particle
What is a high energy electron from the nucleus called?
beta particle In beta decay a neutron is converted into a proton, electron (also called a beta particle) and an electron antineutrino.
Is a beta particle a helium nucleus or an electron?
A beta particle is a high energy electron. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus. A gamma ray is a high energy photon.
When an unstable nucleus produces an beta particle by how many units does the atomic number of the nucleus change?
The atomic number decreases by one for each 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
A high-speed electron ejected from a nucleus durng radioactive decay is called a?
an alpha particle
When beta particle is ejected from a nucleus does it have a greater mass or charge?
The beta particle is formed when a neutron decays into a proton and electron. So the number of protons increases, causing an increase in the charge of the nucleus by 1, and a very tiny decrease in mass.
What is ejected from a nucleus when a neutron is converted into a proton?
Electron also referred to as a beta particle in this instance
What represents a beta particle?
0/-1 e
What is a high energy electron from the nucleus called?
beta particle In beta decay a neutron is converted into a proton, electron (also called a beta particle) and an electron antineutrino.
What happens to the atomic number when the nucleus releases a beta particle?
When the nucleus releases a beta minus particle the atomic number increase with 1.When the nucleus releases a beta plus particle the atomic number decrease with 1.
What particle is emitted in beta radiation?
In unstable neuclei where there are 'too many' neutrons, a neutron will convert to a proton and an electron - that electron is ejected from the nucleus and is called a beta particle. It is important that we call this electron a beta particle because it is derived by radioactive disintegration in the nucleus and not an 'orbital' electron.
Is a beta particle a helium nucleus or an electron?
A beta particle is a high energy electron. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus. A gamma ray is a high energy photon.
When an unstable nucleus produces an beta particle by how many units does the atomic number of the nucleus change?
The atomic number decreases by one for each beta particle
When a beta particle is emitted does the mass number of the isotope remains unchanged?
With the ejection of a beta particle (electron), there is a minute loss of mass. Electrons have very low mass. The atomic number increases though as a neutron is transformed into a proton. A antineutrino is also ejected. In a similar process, positron emission also called beta decay,- a positron is emitted and a proton is transformed into a neutron, the atomic number decreases. A neutrino is also ejected.
A high-energy electron from the nucleus?
beta particle
What is the high-energy electron from the nucleus?
Beta particle
