What is the difference between a beta plus particle and a beta minus particle?

The difference between a beta plus and beta minus particle is the electrical charge. The charges are equal, but opposite. The beta minus particle is an electron with a negative charge, while the beta plus particle is an anti-electron or positron with a positive charge.


What does the effect of beta decay on the composition of a nucleus?

Beta decay can change the composition of a nucleus by transforming a neutron into a proton, resulting in the emission of a beta particle (electron) and an antineutrino. This process increases the atomic number of the nucleus while keeping the mass number constant, resulting in a different element.


In a beta particle emission what does the neutron split into?

In beta particle emission, a neutron in the nucleus converts into a proton, an electron (beta particle), and an antineutrino.

Positively charged particle that is also beta particle?

A positron is a positively charged particle that is also a beta particle. It is the antimatter counterpart of the electron, with the same mass but opposite charge. Positrons are commonly produced in beta plus decay processes.


When is the decay particle beta?

A beta particle is either an electron, or a positron (aka "anti-electron").
