beta decay.(radiation)
beta decay is a heavy particle converting into a lighter one; this radioactive decay consists of the emission of electrons (that occur when an atom ejects an electron from its nucleus), known as beta particles and the emission known as beta radiation – the disintegration of the nucleus of an atom to produce a beta particle; this decay is accompanied by the emission of a neutrino (high speed electron) and an anti neutrino. Beta decay is governed by the weak force. During the process of decay a neutron changes (a neutron in the nucleus changes into a proton – a new element is formed as the atom transmutes), thereby increasing the atomic number by one, while the mass remains about the same. Any mass lost in the process is converted to movement (kinetic energy) of the beta particle. (see also 'alpha particles')

the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States. The Bill of Rights establishes basic American civil liberties that the government cannot violate.

The states ratified the Bill of Rights in 1791, three years after the Constitution was ratified. Originally the Bill of Rights applied only to the federal government, but in a series of 20th-century cases, the Supreme Court decided that most of its provisions apply to the states. Many countries have used the Bill of Rights as a model for defining civil liberties in their constitutions.

The Bill of Rights includes a wide range of protections with a common theme and purpose..to define the scope of individual freedom in the United States and to make the political system more democratic.."Microsoft® Encarta® Encyclopedia 99. © 1993-1998 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
