What else can I help you with?
A high-speed electron ejected from a nucleus durng radioactive decay is called a?
an alpha particle
When a beta particle is ejected from a nucleus the nucleus then has greater?
When a beta particle is ejected from a nucleus, the nucleus gains one unit of positive charge as it transforms a neutron into a proton. This results in an increase in the atomic number of the atom while the mass number remains the same.
What is a high energy electron from the nucleus called?
beta particle In beta decay a neutron is converted into a proton, electron (also called a beta particle) and an electron antineutrino.
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.
When an unstable nucleus produces an beta particle by how many units does the atomic number of the nucleus change?
The atomic number decreases by one for each beta particle

When beta particle is ejected from a nucleus does it have a greater mass or charge?
The beta particle is formed when a neutron decays into a proton and electron. So the number of protons increases, causing an increase in the charge of the nucleus by 1, and a very tiny decrease in mass.
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
What represents a beta particle?
0/-1 e
What is a high energy electron from the nucleus called?
beta particle In beta decay a neutron is converted into a proton, electron (also called a beta particle) and an electron antineutrino.
What happens to the atomic number when the nucleus releases a beta particle?
When the nucleus releases a beta minus particle the atomic number increase with 1.When the nucleus releases a beta plus particle the atomic number decrease with 1.
What particle is emitted in beta radiation?
In unstable neuclei where there are 'too many' neutrons, a neutron will convert to a proton and an electron - that electron is ejected from the nucleus and is called a beta particle. It is important that we call this electron a beta particle because it is derived by radioactive disintegration in the nucleus and not an 'orbital' electron.
When a beta particle is emitted does the mass number of the isotope remains unchanged?
With the ejection of a beta particle (electron), there is a minute loss of mass. Electrons have very low mass. The atomic number increases though as a neutron is transformed into a proton. A antineutrino is also ejected. In a similar process, positron emission also called beta decay,- a positron is emitted and a proton is transformed into a neutron, the atomic number decreases. A neutrino is also ejected.
What type of element did Fermi expect to find when uranium absorbed a neutron and then ejected a beta particle?
Fermi expected to find elements that were one atomic number higher in the periodic table when uranium absorbed a neutron and then ejected a beta particle. This process, known as beta decay, results in the conversion of a neutron into a proton within the nucleus, leading to the creation of a new element.
What is emitted from the nucleus during beta decay?
During beta decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, releasing an electron (beta particle) and an antineutrino from the nucleus. The beta particle is emitted as the neutron decays into a proton, increasing the atomic number of the nucleus.
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.
