If a proton dies then that mean's everything in the entire universe will be destroyed but it will take an extremely long amount of time. But nobody can prove if a proton has died because there are so many of them, you simply cannot keep track of the amount of them.
In theory a proton is stable.

When a neutron decays what does it form?
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
What forces in carbon 14 does isotope transform a neutron into a proton?
Nuclear forces are the exact forces in carbon-14 that transforms a neutron into a proton. The actual process includes alpha decay, beta decay, relative dating, and absolute dating.
Converting carbon to boron by decreasing the number of protons from 6 to 5 and increasing the number of neutrons from 5 to 6 is and example of what type of decay?
This type of decay is known as beta decay, specifically beta-minus decay where a neutron is converted into a proton, an electron, and an electron antineutrino. This process results in the increase of one proton from 6 to 7, thus changing the element from carbon to boron.
What are the equations of the beta decay of Tin-121?
The beta decay of Tin-121 results in the transformation of a neutron into a proton, releasing a beta particle (an electron) and an antineutrino. The equation for this decay is: ^121Sn -> ^121Sb + e^- + v̅e
Disintegration of a nucleus with the emission of an electron is known as what type of decay?
beta
Does the proton decay?
This all depends on the situation and context. In particle physics, proton decay is hypothetical. It is a type of radioactive decay where protons decay into lighter subatomic particles.
What kind of decay is it when a nuclear reaction in which a neutron is transformed into a proton and in electron?
When a neutron -> proton, it is called a Beta - (minus) decay.
How do proton rich nuclei decay?
Proton-rich nuclei typically undergo decay through processes such as beta-plus (β+) decay, where a proton is transformed into a neutron, emitting a positron and a neutrino. This decay reduces the proton-to-neutron ratio, helping the nucleus move toward a more stable configuration. In some cases, proton-rich nuclei may also undergo proton emission, where an excess proton is ejected from the nucleus. These decay processes help stabilize the nucleus by balancing the forces within it.
How electron is converted into proton?
An electron will not decay into a proton by any means.
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
When a neutron decays into a proton the electron is emitted from the nucleus what is this kind of radioactivity called?
If an electron is released from the nucleus (and not from an electron shell) then it would have been emitted by a neutron in beta decay. In beta-minus decay, a neutral neutron emits an electron and an anti-neutrino and becomes a proton; in beta-plus decay, a proton emits a positron and a neutrino and becomes a neutron.
Which type of radioactive decay does not change the neutron-to-proton ratio for a nucleus?
Gamma decay does not change the neutron-to-proton ratio for a nucleus. Gamma decay involves the emission of gamma rays, which are high-energy photons, without changing the composition of the nucleus.
What makes a proton change to a electron?
A proton never changes to an electron just as a dog never changes to a cat, they are completely different things really. In beta decay a neutron may decay into a proton and emit and electron and an anti-neutrino but that is about it.
Do neutrons decay, and if so, what is the process involved in their decay?
Yes, neutrons can decay. Neutron decay is a process where a neutron transforms into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino. This process is known as beta decay.
How does radioactive decay produce new elements?
In alpha decay, the nucleus loses two protons and two neutrons. The resulting element will therefore have an element number that is two less.In beta minus decay, a neutron gets converted to a proton. The resulting element will have one more proton - the element number will be one more. In beta plus decay, a proton gets converted to a neutron. The resulting element will have one less proton - the element number will be one less.
Does beta decay occur during the rearrangement of protons and neutrons in the nucleus?
Yes, beta decay is one of the processes that can occur during the rearrangement of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Beta decay involves the transformation of a neutron into a proton or a proton into a neutron, along with the emission of a beta particle (electron or positron) and a neutrino.
Why neutron mass is greater of proton mass?
A neutron could split into a proton plus an electron during the radioactive decay..
