An electron is emitted by an atomic nucleus in the process of beta decay. Beta decay occurs when a neutron in the nucleus is transformed into a proton, and an electron (beta particle) and an antineutrino are emitted. The emitted electron can be represented as β − , and this process plays a role in the conversion of a neutron-rich nucleus to a more proton-rich one.
