Source sentences:
text: Positron emission should not be confused with electron emission or beta minus decay (β− decay), which occurs when a neutron turns into a proton and the nucleus emits an electron and an antineutrino.
text: Further, in a Beta minus decay, a neutron transforms into a proton within the nucleus:
text: Beta-minus decay is essentially the opposite process of beta-plus decay, where a neutron turns into a proton, releasing a beta-minus particle (a β− particle) and an electron antineutrino in the process.
text: If a neutron turns into a proton and the energy of the decay is less than 0.782343 MeV (such as rubidium-87 decaying to strontium-87), the average binding energy per nucleon will actually decrease.
text: Now let's try one for beta decay — remember that, in beta decay, a neutron turns into a proton and emits an electron from the nucleus (we call this a beta particle)
text: In beta decay, a neutron in the nucleus spontaneously turns into a proton, an electron, and a third particle called an antineutrino.
text: Neutrons can turn into protons and protons into neutrons.
text: Neutrons can turn into protons and protons into neutrons.
text: In some very rare cases, double beta decay can occur, where two neutrons will simultaneously transform into protons, or vice versa, releasing either two positrons or two electrons.
