Proton can decay into neutron

A free neutron decays into a proton, an electron and

A radioactive nucleus initially at rest decays by emitting an electron and neutron at right angle to one another. The momentum of neutron is 3.2xx10^(-24)kgm//s and the momentum of neutron is 6.4xx10^(-24)kgm//sec . The direction of the recoiling nucleus with that of the electron motion is:

Suppose that a .^(238)U nucleus "swallows" a neutron and then decays not by fission but by beta decay, emitting an electron and a neutrino. Which nuclide remains after this decay: (a) .^(239)Pu , (b) .^(238)Np , (c) .^(239)Np , or (d) .^(238)Pa ?

Two other possible ways by which .^(235)U can undergo fission when bombarded with a neutron are (1) by the release of .^(140)Xe and .^(94)Sr as fission fragments and (2) by the release of .^(132)Sn and .^(101)Mo as fission fragments. In each case, neutrons are also released. Find the number of neutrons released in each of these events.

Electron, Proton and Neutron

Neutron changing into Proton by emitting electron and anti neutrino. This due to

Assertion : During beta -decay a proton converts into a neutron and an electron. No other particle is emitted. Reason: During beta -decay linear momentum of system should remain constant.

In a radioactive decay, an emitted electron comes from
