Aluminium-26 and carbon-14 are disintegrated by emission of beta radiation.
Electron (beta minus) decay: the atomic mass remain approx. constant, the atomic number will be greater with 1 Positron (beta plus) and electron capture decay: the atomic mass remain approx. constant, the atomic number decrease with 1 Double beta decay: the atomic mass remain approx. constant, the atomic number will be greater with 2
Thorium-234 does not decay into Protactinium-234. Instead, Thorium-234 naturally decays by alpha emission to Protactinium-230. The difference in decay modes is due to variances in their nuclear structures and energetics.
In beta decay of thorium-234, a neutron in the nucleus of thorium-234 is transformed into a proton, releasing an electron (beta particle) and an antineutrino. This process converts the thorium-234 nucleus into protactinium-234.
Naturally occurring scandium 45Sc is stable. However synthetic isotopes of scandium can have 36 to 60 nucleons. Isotopes with masses above the stable isotope decay through beta emission into isotopes of titanium. Isotopes below the stable variety decay, mainly by electron capture, into isotopes of calcium.

The decay product of uranium 238 by alpha disintegration (not beta or gamma) is thorium 234.
The product of beta decay of bismuth-209 is thallium-209. During beta decay, a neutron in the bismuth nucleus is converted into a proton, resulting in the emission of a beta particle (electron) and an antineutrino.
No. Beta emission does not change the mass of the atom.
In beta particle emission, a neutron in the nucleus converts into a proton, an electron (beta particle), and an antineutrino.
In beta radiation, an emission of electrons can occur due to beta decay. A neutron can disintegrate into protons and electrons.
A beta particle is typically represented by the Greek letter beta (β). In equations, it is often denoted as either β- (beta minus) for an electron emission or β+ (beta plus) for a positron emission.
Gold never decays by alpha emission, it either decays by -beta, +beta, K capture, or gamma emission depending on isotope.Natural gold is isotopically pure gold-197, which is stable.

7N14 is the product of beta- decay of 6C14. Remember, beta- decay involves changing a neutron into a proton, with the emission of an electron and an electron antineutrino. The W- boson is an intermediate product of the changing of a down quark to an up quark that is represented by the change of a neutron into a proton, which then decays into the electron and electron antineutrino pair.. In a nutshell, with beta- decay, atomic number goes up by one, and atomic mass number stays the same.
Yttrium-90 (Z= 39, N=51) decays to Zirconium-90 (Z=40, N=50) by emission of a beta particle (Neutron - > Proton + beta minus). Zirconium-90 is stable.
