A beta particle.<span>β
</span> Looking at the particles before and after for the decay, you'll see that there is a total of 214 neutrons and protons both before and after the radioactive decay. But you'll also see that before the decay, there were 82 protons and after the decay, there are 83 protons. So a neutron was converted to a proton which means that a negative charge had to be emitted, so it's a beta decay where a neutron emits a beta particle (an electron). The beta particle can be represented as a greek beta <span>β</span> followed by a minus sign, giving β-, or as a "e" followed by a minus sign, so e-
Cells are the basic structures of all living organisms. Cells provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food and carry out important functions. Cells group together to form tissues, which in turn group together to form organs, such as the heart and brain.
