  • Beta-Minus Decay: Understanding the Charge of Emitted Particles
    The particle emitted from the nucleus during beta-minus decay has a negative charge.

    Here's why:

    * Beta-minus decay involves the transformation of a neutron within the nucleus into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino.

    * The electron is the particle that is emitted.

    * Electrons are fundamental particles with a negative charge.
