Beta decay

Radioactive metamorphosis of a nuclide entails an intriguing process whereby the atomic number experiences a precise alteration, either ascending or descending by a unit of one, while the mass number remains unaltered. The augmentation of the atomic number occurs through the emission of a negatively charged beta particle, also known as a negatron, while its diminution takes place when a positively charged beta-particle, referred to as a positron, is emitted or an electron is captured.
