Protons are rarely emitted, but a decay mode called positron decay is very common. The positron is the antiparticle of the electron and is exactly the same mass as the electron. It has charge +e.
0/-1 e
Hydrogen sometimes accepts an electron and forms a negative ion, while other times it donates an electron and forms a positive ion.
Proton - positive charge (+) Neutron - neutral charge (0) Electron - negative charge (-)
For the particles in atoms: Neutron: Charge: neutral Electron: Charge: negative Proton: Charge: positive
A Beta Particle is a high energy electron that comes from the nucleus, not from the electron cloud. However, the nucleus contains only protons and neutrons. During this kind of transmutation, a neutron becomes unstable and splits into an electron and a proton. The electron, or beta particle, is released with a large amount of energy. The proton however, remains in the nucleus.P.S. I got this information out of my Science text book. (:
The particle that has the same mass as an electron (9.11 x 10^-31 kg) but a positive charge and is sometimes emitted from the nucleus during radioactive decay is a positron. A positron is the antimatter counterpart to an electron and has a charge of +1.
These particles are: proton (positive) and electron (negative).
These particles are: neutron (positive) and electron (negative).

Beta particles can be either positive or negative. It depends if an electron or a positrion is emited. Usually though, beta particles are negative as it is much more common for an electron to be emitted (though that does depend on the substance).
Proton - positive charge (+) Neutron - neutral charge (0) Electron - negative charge (-)
Neutron is neutral, proton is positive, electron is negative.
Negative charge = electron Positive charge = positron Positive charge = proton
Alpha decay is the type of radioactive decay in which positive particles, specifically alpha particles, are emitted. These alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together, giving them a positive charge.
