    Beta decay can also be caused by the emitting of a positron. The antimatter equivalent of an electron. Same mass but a positive charge instead of a negative charge.

    Does anything change in a gamma decay equation if nothing was excited in the first place? So like in the example you used, if the technetium wasn't in an excited state, would it have just gone from 99/43 Tc to 99/43 Tc? Or would it have went backwards, like 99/43 Tc to 99m/43 Tc?

    @Orchestra Of Ruin, I don't believe you are right. Positron emission and electron capture are usually grouped together as two possible courses of action when a proton needs to convert into a neutron to stabilize the nucleus. Beta decay and positron emission are the result of different conditions, namely when a neutron needs to convert into a proton and when a proton needs to convert into a neutron, respectively. Therefore I believe your statement that beta decay can also be caused by the emission of a positron is incorrect. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    In beta(-) decay, where do we get the extra valance electron from? If Electrons=protons, and we are gaining one proton, while ejecting one electron..unless we are forming a cation does this mean we are also creating one valence electron? So a Neutron becomes a proton, electron, & a valence electron, for a total of 2 electrons?

      When the neutron decays in to a proton. The neutron doesn't immediately radiate an electron. It actually radiates a W-particle, which decays into an electron and an anti-electron-neutrino

      Because the equation was already balanced. They both had a 1 so therefore he didn't have to add anymore.
