Beta particles production

Beta-particle production a decay process for radioactive nuclides in which the mass number remains constant and the atomic number changes. The net effect is to change a neutron to a proton. (21.1)... 

Te 5.10 alpha particles and 5 beta particles 7. Refer to Table 21.2 for potential radioactive decay processes. 17F and, 8F contain too many protons or too few neutrons. Electron capture or positron production are both possible decay mechanisms that increase the neu-tron-to-proton ratio. Alpha-particle production also increases the neu-tron-to-proton ratio, but it is not likely for these light nuclei. 21F contains too many neutrons or too few protons. Beta-particle production lowers the neutron-to-proton ratio, so we expect 21F to be a /3-emitter. 9. a. 2gCf + gO - fcIJSg + 4jn b. Rf 11. 6.35 X 1011 13. a. 

Beta-particle production is another common decay process. For example, the thorium-234 nuclide produces a p particle as it changes to protactinium-234.
