What is ejected from a nucleus when a neutron is converted into a proton?

Electron also referred to as a beta particle in this instance


How electron created from nucleus?

I think you may be referring to Beta decay of a radioactive substance. Beta decay involves the emission of an electron and an electron antineutrino from the nucleus of an atom as a neutron is converted into a proton


Which particle is emitted from a hydrogen-3 nucleus when it undergoes radioactive decay?

When a hydrogen-3 nucleus undergoes radioactive decay, it emits a beta particle (specifically an electron) and an anti-neutrino to transform into helium-3.


Can protons and neutrons normally leave the nucleus?

Protons and neutrons are normally bound within the nucleus by the strong nuclear force. However, they can be ejected from the nucleus in processes like radioactive decay or nuclear fission.


What does the process in which an unstable atomic nucleus emits charged particles or energy or both?

In the process of radioactive decay an unstable atomic nucleus emits energy to get closer to a state of stability. Whether this energy is emitted in particles, electromagnetic radiation, or both depends on which decay paths are available to the nucleus and which decay paths are forbidden to the nucleus by Quantum Mechanics.Some of the decay processes are:alpha - energy is released in the momentum of the ejected alpha particle (helium nucleus)beta - energy is released in the momentum of the ejected electron or positron (and the hard to detect neutrino)gamma - energy is released as electromagnetic radiation (gamma ray photon)spontaneous fission - energy is released in the momentum of the ejected fission product atoms and the ejected neutrons


What happens when two protons and two neutrons are ejected from a radium nucleus?

The radioactive gas radon is obtained: 226Ra-----alpha particle------222Rn


What is a fast moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay and has a negative chare?

its called a beta particle, but its an electron


Nucleus has no electron yet can eject them.Why?

In beta decay (β⁻), a neutron converts to a proton, and emits an electron and an electron antineutrino. So the electron wasn't there from the start; it gets created as part of the beta decay.


What is a fast-moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay.?

One part of a beta- particle. The other part is an electron antineutrino


When a radioactive nucleus decays and forms a new nucleus is the new nucleus always radioactive?

No. A stable nucleus can form. If the new nucleus is radioactive, then it will contiue to decay until a non radioactive nucleus is attained.


What is an unstable nucleus that starts a decay process called?

A nucleus that starts to decay is called a radioactive nucleus or atom. It decays with a known and unique half life by several processes including but not limited to beta decay, alpha decay, electron capture decay, and positron emission.
