Question

Carbon-14 forms nitrogen-14 by




A. alpha decay.


B. beta decay.


C. gamma decay.


D. none of the above

Answer 1

hint:
here is the decay reaction:
\[\Large {}_6^{14}C \to {}_7^{14}N + {}_{ - 1}^0e\]

Answer 2

"e" stands for electron

Answer 3

I have no clue what the answer is

Answer 4

hint:
the rays composed by electrons, are called negative beta rays

Answer 5

\[ _{\ \ 6}^{14}\textrm C^{~}_8 \longrightarrow {}_{\ \ 7}^{14}\textrm N_7^+ +\overbrace{ {}_{ - 1}^{\ \ \ 0}e_0^-}^{\displaystyle\beta^-}+\bar\nu_e\]
