In beta decay into a proton

In beta decay, either a neutron is converted into a proton, and the atomic number rises, or the opposite occurs, pushing the atomic number down.

Electron capture

In Electron capture The nucleus may capture an orbiting electron, causing a proton to convert into a neutron in a process called electron capture.

radioactive beta decay

The neutron explained radioactive beta decay as a process in which a neutron decays into a proton, an electron, and an electron antineutrino.

into a proton or vice versa

A neutron in the nucleus transforms into a proton or vice versa, releasing a beta particle (an electron or positron) in the process.

Both beta decays

Both beta decays also turn a neutron into a proton.

via inverse beta decay

Inside a nucleus, a proton can transform into a neutron via inverse beta decay, if an energetically allowed quantum state is available for the neutron.

by emission of a positron

Beta decay of a neutron transforms it into a proton by the emission of an electron, or conversely a proton is converted into a neutron by the emission of a positron, changing the nuclide type.

into a proton, electron and (the antimatter counterpart of the neutrino antineutrino

When an atom undergoes one type of beta decay, a neutron inside its nucleus spontaneously transforms into a proton, electron and antineutrino (the antimatter counterpart of the neutrino); in a type of inverse beta decay, the neutron absorbs a neutrino and morphs into a proton and electron.
