1. The production of beta particles is termed beta decay. They are designated by beta (β). There are two forms of beta decay, β− and β+, which respectively give rise to the electron and the positron. The generalized atomic equation for beta decay is as follows:
2. Where:X = original (parent) atom Y = new (daughter) atom ß- = beta particle (electron)ν = neutrinoExamples of Beta decay:
3. Examples of Beta decay:
4. The generalized atomic equation for positron decay is as follows:
