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 emitted during beta decay?

During beta decay, a beta particle (either an electron or a positron) is emitted from the nucleus of an atom. This emission occurs when a neutron in the nucleus is transformed into a proton, with the accompanying release of a beta particle and an antineutrino (in the case of beta-minus decay) or a neutrino (in the case of beta-plus decay).


What radiation is emitted during beta decay?

During beta decay, a beta particle (an electron or positron) is emitted, along with an antineutrino or neutrino, depending on whether it's beta-minus or beta-plus decay, respectively. Beta decay involves the transmutation of a neutron into a proton within the nucleus, releasing the beta particle in the process.


A negative charged particle emitted during radioactive decay?

The negative charged particle emitted during radioactive decay is called a beta particle. It is essentially an electron that is released from the nucleus of the atom undergoing decay in order to conserve charge. Beta decay occurs when a neutron in the nucleus is transformed into a proton, releasing a beta particle and an antineutrino.


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 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.


Can gamma particle be emitted instead of antineutrino during beta decay?

no


Are beta emission and beta decay the same?

There is a difference between beta emitters and beta particles. In situations where an atomic nucleus exhibits nuclear instability due to too many neutrons for the number of protons or vice versa, that nucleus may undergo beta decay. It the decay event occurs, that atom is considered a beta emitter. The emitted particle is the beta particle. That's the difference. (There are two different beta particles, so check the articles on beta decay to get the scoop.)


What atomic particle do a beta particle resembles?

A beta particle is a negative electron. A positive electron is a Positron.


What radioactive emanations have a charge of - 1?

Beta particle electrons (as opposed to Beta particle positrons which have + 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).


A beta particle is a what created and emitted from an unstable nucleus?

A beta particle is an electron or a positron emitted from an unstable nucleus during beta decay. Beta decay occurs when a neutron in the nucleus changes into a proton and emits either an electron (beta minus decay) or a positron (beta plus decay) to achieve a more stable configuration.
