Beta-decay In a typical beta decay, a radioactive nuclide emits a beta particle when a neutron/proton transforms into a proton/neutron emitting a beta particle in the process, which could either be an electron or a positron. Beta particles are fast electrons...
Beta-decay In a typical beta decay, a radioactive nuclide emits a beta particle (an electron or positron) when a neutron/proton transforms into a proton/neutron (Beta minus, β−, decay/ Beta plus, β+, decay). This means that the atomic number of a parent nuclide will...
