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.

When a neutron decays into a proton the electron is emitted from the nucleus what is this kind of radioactivity called?

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.

What type of decay is 235 92U---4 2 He plus 231 90Th?

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.
