When a beta particle is released from an atom does the atom gain or lose mass?

When a beta particle is released, the atom's mass remains approximately the same because it loses an electron, which has such a small mass in comparison to the whole atom that it is negligible.

How many protons will uranium have after releasing a beta particle?
It depends on whether the beta decay sequence is beta- or beta+. In beta-, the atom will gain a proton, changing into neptunium. In beta+, the atom will lose a proton, changing into protactinium.
Can an atom gain or lose protons why or why not?
Yes, but only in nuclear reactions. If an atom emits an alpha particle, it will lose two protons to the emitted particle.
When an atom loses or gain this type of particle the mass nbr changes?
electrons
What is difference between beta particle and an electron?
An electron is the basic carrier of the negative electrostatic charge. It has an anti-matter equivalent (an anti-particle) called the positron. Either an electron or positron can be a beta particle. The reason is that beta decay releases a beta particle, and the type of particle will depend on the type of decay. In beta minus decay, the change in an atomic nucleus will release an electron, and in beta plus decay, the nuclear change will release a positron. Use the link below to learn more about beta decay.
How does an ion become a cation?
any atom lose one electron or more become positive ion ( Cation ) Dont really get your question:( BY definition, an atom that has lost or gained an electron meaning its a charged particle. A cation is an atom that has lost electrons to form a positively charged atom meaning that a cation is an ion. However, an anion also falls under the definition of an ion ( An anion is an atom that has gained an electron to form a negatively charged particle) In that case, it will need to lose electrons to form a cation(positively charged particle.) Not sure if you are referring to that though hope that helps:DD

Why common collector amplifier current gain is equal to beta?
Actually the current gain is equal to Beta+1, not Beta. The current from/into the emitter is the sum of the current into/from the collector and base. Of course this assumes linear operation.For a proof: Ie + Ib + Ic = 0Ic = Beta * IbIe + Ib + Beta * Ib = 0Ie + (Beta + 1) * Ib = 0Ie = -(Beta + 1) * Ib
Which configuration amongst CCCECB gives no current gain?
CB gives a current gain of beta/(beta+1), which with typical beta values is just under one. Note that this current gain value is also known as alpha.
What is the particle that an antom can loose or gain in order to form into a charged iron?
Atoms can lose or gain electrons. When they do, they form charged particles called ions: if an atom loses one or more electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion, I think ;]

When will an atom be electronegative?
An electronegative atom gain electrons.
Does a carbon atom lose or gain electrons?
gain
Would a chlorine atom lose electrons or gain electrons to become an atom?
Chlorine gain electrons.
