A beta particle is produced in a process called beta decay, in which a neutron becomes a proton or vise versa. There are two forms of beta decay:
- normal beta decay - a neutron becomes a proton, a beta particle (i.e. electron) and an antineutrino
- antibeta decay - a proton becomes a neutron, an antibeta particle (i.e. positron) and a neutrino

What is the nuclear decay equation for radium-288?
The equation for the beta decay of 24Na is: 1124Na --> 1224Mg + -10e where the e is a negative beta particle or electron.
What is the product of radioactive decay called?
Product of radioactive decay 42He is an alpha particle
When cobalt 60 undergoes nuclear decay it emits?
Beta Particle
What is the product of radioactive decay 0-1 e called?
A beta particle
What is the nuclear decay equation for cesium 137?
The equation for the beta decay of 137Cs is: 55137Cs --> 56137Ba + -10e where the -10e is a negative beta particle or electron.
Positively charged particle that is also beta particle?
A positron is a positively charged particle that is also a beta particle. It is the antimatter counterpart of the electron, with the same mass but opposite charge. Positrons are commonly produced in beta plus decay processes.
How many beta particles are produced in the sequence in problem 1?
In Problem 1, 1 beta particle is produced during the decay of a neutron to a proton.
Is a beta particle an electron?
Yes, a beta particle is an electron.
What is the strength of a beta particle?
The strength of a beta particle is its ability to cross the absorber to reach the detector.Now the strength of a beta particle depends upon the energy of the beta particle and thickness of the absorber.
A high-speed electron ejected from a nucleus durng radioactive decay is called a?
an alpha particle
What is the difference between a beta plus particle and a beta minus particle?
The difference between a beta plus and beta minus particle is the electrical charge. The charges are equal, but opposite. The beta minus particle is an electron with a negative charge, while the beta plus particle is an anti-electron or positron with a positive charge.
What is an electron called that is produced when neutron decays?
It is still called an "electron".On the other hand, an electron that results from radioactive decay is also known as "beta radiation"; but please note that "beta radiation" may also refer to an antielectron.
In a beta particle emission what does the neutron split into?
In beta particle emission, a neutron in the nucleus converts into a proton, an electron (beta particle), and an antineutrino.
What is the charge for a beta particle?
negative, -1 to be precise since a beta particle is an electron
What are the properties of an Beta particle?
A beta particle is an electron (or positron) with high energy and speed.
What is the charge of a beta particle?
A beta particle has a charge of -1, which means it is negatively charged.
What is beta perticle?
The beta particle is an electron.
