text: For neutron decay, some mass disappears as neutrons convert to a proton, electron and antineutrino:
text: Beta decay occurs when there are "too many" neutrons in a nucleus, with the result that a neutron converts into a proton — with the emission of an electron.
text: An atom will β- decay when a neutron in the nucleus converts to a proton by the following reaction.
text: Fission products tend to be beta emitters, emitting fast-moving electrons to conserve electric charge, as excess neutrons convert to protons in the fission-product atoms.

text: However, it is not binding energy per defined nucleon (as defined above), which controls which exact nuclei are made, because within stars, neutrons are free to convert to protons to release even more energy, per generic nucleon, if the result is a stable nucleus with a larger fraction of protons.
