When rubidium-87 (Rb-87) converts to strontium-87 (Sr-87), it undergoes beta decay. In this process, a neutron in the rubidium nucleus is transformed into a proton, resulting in the emission of an electron, known as a beta particle, and an antineutrino. This transformation increases the atomic number from 37 (rubidium) to 38 (strontium) while the mass number remains the same at 87.

Another word for a particle consisting of two protons and two neutrons is an "alpha particle." Alpha particles are a type of ionizing radiation commonly emitted during the radioactive decay of certain heavy elements.
When neodymium-144 decays into promethium-144, it emits a beta particle. This process involves the transformation of a neutron into a proton within the neodymium nucleus, resulting in the emission of an electron (the beta particle) and an antineutrino. The increase in the proton number by one changes the element from neodymium to promethium while the atomic mass remains essentially the same.
When Gallium-75 (Ga-75) decays to Germanium-75 (Ge-75), it undergoes beta decay, where a neutron in the Ga-75 nucleus is converted into a proton, emitting a beta particle (an electron) and an antineutrino. This process increases the atomic number of the element from 31 (Gallium) to 32 (Germanium), while the mass number remains the same. The emitted beta particle is the key particle released during this decay process.
A discrete band in the gamma region refers to a specific range of gamma-ray energies that are emitted from nuclear transitions or particle interactions, often observed in nuclear spectroscopy. These bands are characterized by sharp peaks in the gamma-ray spectrum, which correspond to the quantized energy levels of the nucleus. Discrete gamma bands can provide valuable information about nuclear structure and decay processes. They are typically identified through detectors that capture the emitted gamma radiation, allowing researchers to analyze the energy levels and transitions within atomic nuclei.
In alpha decay, the emitted particle has a charge of 2.
It is negative beta particle emitted by a uranium nucleus and converting it to neptunium nucleus.
The particle emitted during beta- decay is an electron, therefore it has a negative charge.
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.

When P-32 decays to S-32, a beta particle is emitted. This beta particle is an electron released during the conversion of a neutron into a proton within the nucleus of the atom.
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.
During the nuclear decay of Ne-19, a positron is emitted.

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