because it is an electron which orbits the nucleus
In this context, we call an electron a beta particle.
A radiation particle consisting of two protons and two neutrons is called an Alpha Particle. Alpha Particles have the same structure as a Helium nucleus. There are three forms of radiation, Alpha (Helium nucleus), Beta (a lone electron) and Gamma (an Electromagnetic wave).
a. an alpha particle
A machine that smashes atoms together in order to observe what the universe may have looked like seconds after the "Big Bang" is called a particle accelerator. who ever is asking this is wondering what its CALLED not what it does! btw: Particle accelerator.
Nucleus of the standard isotope of carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 neutrons (carbon 12). Other Isotopes of carbon atoms are also possible, such as C14, which has 8 neutrons, and decays by beta particle emission into nitrogen.
Yes. When an atom emits a Bita particle, actually its the degradation of a neutral particle, i.e a neutron, which forms a proton and an electron. Since no electron can exist inside a nucleus, so it is emitted out as a bita particle, but the proton stays inside the nucleus, thereby increasing its atomic number by 1.
beta particle In beta decay a neutron is converted into a proton, electron (also called a beta particle) and an electron antineutrino.
When the nucleus releases a beta minus particle the atomic number increase with 1.When the nucleus releases a beta plus particle the atomic number decrease with 1.
an alpha particle
During beta decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, releasing an electron (beta particle) and an antineutrino from the nucleus. The beta particle is emitted as the neutron decays into a proton, increasing the atomic number of the nucleus.
In beta particle emission, a neutron in the nucleus converts into a proton, an electron (beta particle), and an antineutrino.
The atomic number decreases by one for each beta particle
nucleus is a very complicated region and we known little about thattheoretically a neutron is broken down to a proton and a beta particle during radioactivity so with in nucleus beta particle is a part of neutron.
A beta particle is a high energy electron. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus. A gamma ray is a high energy photon.

Beta particle
In nuclear decay processes, electrons called beta particles are emitted by a nucleus. Beta particles can either be a beta-minus particle (an electron) or a beta-plus particle (a positron).
