Carbon-14 decays into nitrogen-14 through beta decay. In this process, a neutron within the carbon-14 nucleus is converted into a proton, resulting in the nucleus having one less neutron and one additional proton, transforming it into nitrogen-14.
This process is called alpha decay.
The type of decay for this process is alpha decay. In alpha decay, a heavy nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium-4 nucleus) to transform into a new element with a lower atomic number.
The W boson is the carrier of the weak force (weak interaction), and the weak force is the "boss" of beta decay. The weak interaction mediates the changes that take place in an atomic nucleus just prior to the emission of a beta particle. Let's look at that. In beta decay, one of two things happens. One is that an up quark in a proton becomes a down quark, and the proton becomes a neutron. The weak interaction mediates this, and a W+ boson appears, then becomes a positron and a neutrino. In the other case, a down quark in a neutron becomes an up quark, and the neutron becomes a proton. The weak interaction mediates this, too, and a W- boson appears, and then becomes an electron and an antineutrino. You can use the links below to learn more.
This is a gamma-decay.
This is an example of alpha decay.
Alpha
It is Radioactive Decay.
No they are completely different things.
If an electron is released from the nucleus (and not from an electron shell) then it would have been emitted by a neutron in beta decay. In beta-minus decay, a neutral neutron emits an electron and an anti-neutrino and becomes a proton; in beta-plus decay, a proton emits a positron and a neutrino and becomes a neutron.
This process is called alpha decay.
