Question

What type of reaction is the decay of carbon-14?

Answer 1

\(\Huge\bf\color{#FF0000}W\color{#FF4900}e\color{#FF9200}l\color{#FFDB00}c\color{#FFff00}o\color{#B6ff00}m\color{#6Dff00}e~\color{#00ff00}t\color{#00ff49}o~\color{#00ffDB}O\color{#00ffff}p\color{#00DBff}e\color{#0092ff}n\color{#0049ff}S\color{#0000ff}t\color{#2400ff}u\color{#6D00ff}d\color{#B600ff}y\color{#FF00ff}!\)

It's called Beta Decay

\(\sf\begin{matrix}14\\\sf 6 \end{matrix}\Large C \to \normalsize\begin{matrix}14\\\sf 7 \end{matrix}\Large N + e^- +ν_e\)

Answer 2

By the way this is not a biology question. Should have been posted in physics.
