text: Positron emission or beta plus decay (β+ decay) is a subtype of radioactive decay called beta decay, in which a proton inside a radionuclide nucleus is converted into a neutron while releasing a positron and an electron neutrino (ν e ).
text: Decay resulting from ejection of Helium atoms (alpha particles) is known as alpha decay , while decay resulting from the ejection of electrons (beta particles) is known as beta decay .
text: Radioactive decay that emits energetic electrons is called beta decay .
text: This radioactive decay, known as beta decay, is possible because the mass of the neutron is slightly greater than the proton.
