beta decay - a neutron converts to a proton & electron via the weak force.
By striking it with neutrons.
By changing the number of neuturons the atom is converted into isotope. As we know the atom is made up of electrons(negative charge),protons(positive charge) and neutrons(no charge),when we change number of electrons in an atom ions are created in the same way change in number of protons create change in the identity of atom and change in neutrons results isotopes
B. The name of the element does not change during beta decay. The atomic number (Z) increases by one unit as a neutron is converted to a proton, while the mass number (A) remains the same.
No.
No.
Yes, they usually are; being an isotope does not change the chemistry of the atom.

No. It is a constant.

Try "the proton" (change the electrons and you get ions, change the neutrons and you get an isotope.)
... an unstable isotope to a more stable isotope by emission of some type of radiation (alpha, beta, or gamma).
During nuclear decay, an isotope of an element changes by emitting radiation, such as alpha or beta particles, or gamma rays. This process results in the isotope transforming into a different element or a different isotope of the same element. The change is necessary to achieve a more stable configuration, typically by adjusting the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
