Commonly the parent nuclide decays by the beta emission. In addition to that; inside the nuclei decay chain will consistently have half-lives!

As a beta particle comes out of the radioactive atom then only its atomic number increases by one.

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.)


How is a stable nucleus different to an unstable nucleus?

A stable nucleus is one which will not decay, whereas an unstable nucleus will decay at some point, which cannot be predicted as decay is a random process, by alpha or beta decay.


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.


How does the atomic number of a nucleus change when beta decay occurs?

The atomic number increases by one unit when a beta decay occurs.


How is the atomic number of a nucleus change is it by alpha decay or beta decay or gamma decay?

Alpha decay decreases the atomic number by two. Beta- decay increases the atomic number by one. Beta+ decay decreases the atomic number by one. Gamma decay does not change the atomic number. However, gamma decay is often incidental to a precipitating alpha or beta event that upsets the energy equilibrium in the nucleus, so the two are not unrelated.


How electron created from nucleus?

I think you may be referring to Beta decay of a radioactive substance. Beta decay involves the emission of an electron and an electron antineutrino from the nucleus of an atom as a neutron is converted into a proton
