What kind of charge does the particle emitted from the nucleus during betta - decay have?
The particle emitted during beta- decay is an electron, therefore it has a negative charge.
What is a particle that is never emitted in beta decay?
The alpha particle is emitted in alpha decay, and that means you won't see it appear in beta decay. In beta decay, you'll get either an electron or a positron emitted from the nucleus. A link to the related question here can be found below. "What is beta decay?" is already posted and answered.
Does a beta particle have an identical charge to an electron?
Yes, a beta particle is either an electron or a positron. In beta decay, an electron is emitted (beta-minus decay), which has a negative charge, while a positron is emitted in beta-plus decay, which has a positive charge.
What is the charge associated with beta decay?
The charge associated with beta decay is either a positive or negative charge, depending on whether a beta particle is emitted (negative charge) or a positron is emitted (positive charge).
What radioactive emanations have a charge of - 1?
Beta particle electrons (as opposed to Beta particle positrons which have + charge)

What type of particle is emitted when U-235 decays to Np-235?
It is the reverse: Np-235 decay to U-235 by electron capture.
Does a beta particle have an identical charge to an electron?
Yes, a beta particle is either an electron or a positron. In beta decay, an electron is emitted (beta-minus decay), which has a negative charge, while a positron is emitted in beta-plus decay, which has a positive charge.
What particle is emitted when Pu 240 decays to U 236?
An alpha particle is emitted when Pu-240 decays to U-236. It consists of two protons and two neutrons and is commonly emitted in alpha decay processes.
What is the charge associated with beta decay?
The charge associated with beta decay is either a positive or negative charge, depending on whether a beta particle is emitted (negative charge) or a positron is emitted (positive charge).
Where could one locate Alpha particles?
Alpha particles are most commonly found when alpha decay occurs. An alpha particle is emitted during alpha decay. Further information about alpha particles can be found on the Wikipedia website.
Is charge of a baryon conserved when it undergoes beta decay?
Total charge is always conserved. If an electron is emitted, the remaining particle's charge will change by +1. If a positron is emitted, the remaining particle's charge will change by -1.
Are the alpha particle and helium nucleus the same thing?
Yes and no, alpha particles are a form or radiation (a helium nucleus), they are emitted from an unstable radioactive element which decays (and turns into some lighter element) by emitting the alpha particle. This form of decay is called alpha decay.
What type of decay is involved when polonium -214 decays into lead -210?
Alpha decay is involved when polonium-214 decays into lead-210. In alpha decay, an alpha particle (2 protons and 2 neutrons) is emitted from the nucleus, reducing the atomic number by 2 and the mass number by 4.
Does alpha decay always decreases the number of protons by an even number?
Yes, an alpha radiation particle is 2 protons and 2 neutrons so for every alpha particle emitted the radioactive nuclide loses 2 protons.
What radioactive emanations have a charge of - 1?
Beta particle electrons (as opposed to Beta particle positrons which have + charge)
