Answer:

B) Electrons are located in the cloud-like areas around the nucleus.

Explanation:

The quantum mechanical model of the atom does not consider the path through which an electron travels. It rather estimates the probability of where electrons can be found at each energy level.

The region of maximum probability of where an electron is located is sometimes called an electron cloud or orbital. Each orbital of an atom and the electrons accomodated are described completely by a set of four quantum numbers.

In beta decay, what is emitted? A. an electron B. a helium-4 atom C. a neutron D. a photon E. a radionucleus
myrzilka [38]

Answer: A. an electron

<u>Beta particles are electrons or positrons (electrons with positive electric charge or antielectrons).</u> Beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta ray is emitted from an atomic nucleus.

<u>Beta decay occurs when, in an unstable nucleus with too many protons or too many neutrons, one of the protons or neutrons transforms into the other.</u> In beta minus decay, a neutron is broken down into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino (the neutrino antiparticle, meaning it has an opposite charge to the neutrino). In beta decay plus, a prototype breaks down into a neutron, a positron and a neutrino.
