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.

When a beta particle is ejected from a nucleus the nucleus then has greater?
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.
Particle with two protons and two neutrons ejected during decay?
An alpha particle. It is also a helium nucleus and has a charge of +2e. The ejection of an alpha particle occurs whenever the electromagnetic force overcomes the strong force in a nucleus and needs to rid itself of excess charge. The reason that a single proton is not simply ejected has to do with the stability of the alpha particle itself which is generated by the strong force. If there were more protons in an alpha particle, it would not hold together properly. It cannot have more neutrons because it simply wouldn't be ejected because of strong force.
Are alpha particle negative or positive?
An alpha particle is a helium nucleus; it has a charge of +2.
What particle has no charge and is found in the nucleus of an atom?
The nuclear particle that has no charge is the neutron.
Which nucleus particle has no charge?
The neutron.
The Subatomic Particle That Has No Charge?
In the atomic nucleus this particle is the neutron.
What is the electrical charge of an alpha particle?
The electric charge of an alpha particle is positive. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus (which being a nucleus has a positive charge)
What is a particle with no charge also located in the nucleus?
Neutrons are located in the nucleus of an atom and have no charge
A partical in the atomic nucleus that carries no charge?
The neutron is the particle in the atomic nucleus that carries no charge.
What particle found in the nucleus of an atom that has a neutral charge?
In the nucleus: Neutrons have a neutral charge and Protons have a positive charge
What particle has about the same mass as proton but has no charge?
A neutron. It is one of the particles in the nucleus and has no charge
What is the particle in the nucleus of the atom with no electrical charge?
Neuton does not have any charge
